Art & Patrimoine – Festival d'art contemporain

The town hall of Saint-Siffret, in partnership with the Tous en scène association, is pleased to announce that the 5th edition of the contemporary art festival “Art & Heritage” will take place on July 27 and 28, 2024.

Every year, on the last weekend of July, the town of Saint-Siffret, located just 4 km from Uzès, opens its doors to art and history enthusiasts for an unforgettable experience. This open-air art exhibition, organized by the municipality in partnership with the Tous en Scène association, promises total immersion in a setting that is both artistic and historical. Supported by the Occitanie Region, the Gard General Council and the Pays d'Uzès community of communes, the Art & Heritage festival has quickly established itself as a flagship event of the summer. With a growing attendance of 2 to 500 visitors over two days, this event attracts both the curious and the connoisseurs.

For a weekend, the gardens, courtyards and unusual places of the old village of Saint-Siffret are transformed into an Art gallery and transformed into a true showcase of Art.

Saint-Siffret, a true medieval jewel, offers an idyllic setting for history and art lovers. This village, built on a rocky acropolis dating from the Gallo-Roman era, has preserved all its charm of yesteryear. As you stroll through its cobbled streets, you will discover stone houses, a belfry, a Romanesque church from the 12th century, as well as two castles including “La Commanderie” with its small fortified gate from the 12th century. A true showcase for art!

By following this route through the town hall, the La Péran park and the steep streets of the old village, you will have the opportunity to explore heritage spots with commentary while letting yourself be seduced by the worlds of the exhibiting artists.
