June 2–4, 2017
This international event will allow the world of art history and the public to meet. The goal is to reach the broadest audience possible, to capture the interest of families and curious passersby: students, teachers, and professionals. Founded by the French Ministry of Culture and Communications in 2011, the festival goes beyond the usual academic limits, periods, and methods, offering an opportunity to compare different practices and forms of creativity. It brings together different actors in culture, heritage, and art history, such as universities and the art market. It covers a wide array of visual arts: from ancient to contemporary, painting to photography, performance to decorative arts, and architecture to digital arts. During the three days of the festival, more than 300 conferences, debates, concerts, exhibitions, films, lectures, and meetings will take place in the park, the château, and several sites in the town of Fontainebleau. Admission to the festival is free and open to everyone—no need to register.
