Visitors will be able to appreciate a variety of creative approaches that reflect the most current trends in contemporary art. Whether it is drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, installation or even techniques rooted in the tradition of fine crafts, such as tapestry, blown glass or wickerwork, the works presented have in common that they all highlight linen, both materially and conceptually.
The Biennale Internationale du Lin de Portneuf’s organizing committee is staying the course on the dissemination of contemporary creation. Furthermore, it remains convinced of doing useful work by offering to the visitors of heritage sites a privileged opportunity to discover, experience and celebrate the arts.
