1. La Minoterie
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 2 reviews
En 1998, l’artiste Chahab achète l’ancienne friche industrielle totalement délabrée de Nay afin de la rénover pour y établir un espace d’art contemporain : la Minoterie. L’association Nayart est créée à cette occasion. Depuis, Nayart n’a de cesse de faire connaître l’art contemporain au cœur du territoire rural de la Plaine de Nay, pour un public souvent éloigné de l’offre culturelle, et en particulier les publics scolaires. Le champ d’intervention s’étend plus largement sur le territoire des Pyrénées-Atlantiques et des Hautes-Pyrénées. La Minoterie a désormais acquis une renommée aussi bien auprès du grand public que des professionnels, grâce à une programmation exigeante d’artistes nationaux et internationaux. La structure accueille désormais plus de 5000 visiteurs par an, dont mille scolaires. Autour de ces expositions, Nayart propose aussi au public une programmation de spectacles vivants, conférences sur l’histoire de l’art ou de stages ouverts aux adultes et aux enfants.
