programm

Lille Art Up! is a creation of Lille Grand Palais. It naturally responds to the mission that the company has set itself: to be the standard-bearer for the destination Lille.
15 years after its creation, the fair has become an awaited event. It now brings together a community of collectors and contemporary art lovers that is growing in number every year. By orchestrating an off-site exhibition, Lille Art Up! enriches the experience it offers to its visitors. It also puts the spotlight on the abundant offerings of the region's museums.

In 2023, six museums from the Lille metropolis and the Hauts-de-France region accompanied us. The Frac Grand Large, the LaM, the Piscine, the Manufacture, the Fresnoy and the Artothèque Lasécu have offered you, in relay of the fair, privileged visits of their temporary or permanent exhibitions. All this continues to help make Lille a European capital of culture, recognized since 2004.

It is in this magical territory, populated by strange chimeras, that François Andes takes us in the dreams of our childhood and the religious or pagan stories where the imagination, hallucination and reality are mixed. With his imagination, he takes the spectators to visit a new world, filled with beings all more original than each other, and surreal scenery straight out of his dreams and nightmares.
