Festival Coul’Heures d’Automne
The Coul’Heures d’Automne Festival is an event initiated by the Label Note association, which runs the Centre d’Art Urbain et Musical La sChOOL and the Nuits Carrées Festival in Antibes.
This unique event on the French Riviera aims to promote urban art and engage residents in a series of creative processes, offering a different perspective on our environment and the place of art in public spaces. Large-scale mural performances, installations, participatory workshops, and meetings will take place in the city of Antibes Juan les Pins during the 15 days of the All Saints’ Day holidays!
Without All the Ceremony
As a coastal and border city, Antibes has long had to defend itself, and much of its heritage is directly inherited from this context.
The Saracen towers, the old Grimaldi castle, the Fort Carré, the walls of the Saint-Jaume bastion to the Saint-André bastion, are all markers in our urban landscape of a violent reality, the fear of attacks, looting, bombings – in one word, war.
But what is war?
This year, the programming at Fort Carré offers perspectives and reflections on commitment, the duty of memory, and the traumas it generates: thematic tours, workshops, café-museums for discussions, a cinema visit featuring Roberto Rossellini’s Paisà, and a theatrical walk in collaboration with the Conservatory of Music and Dramatic Art of Antibes.

In the Woods – Exhibition
Pauline Kalioujny is a French, Russian, and Ukrainian painter, author, and illustrator. Through this exhibition, Anne Frank sets the stage for her fascinating world for both children and adults.
Trained at the Paris School of Decorative Arts, Pauline Kalioujny writes and illustrates books, while also practicing engraving, drawing, and painting. In her books, she enjoys working on the connections between words, images, and nature. She observes and draws animals of all kinds, developing a personal repertoire of forms, colors, and symbols.

Joan Miró. Masterpieces from the Nahmad Collection
From June 30 to January 12
The Picasso Museum is offering a unique experience: showcasing twelve masterful works by Joan Miró, from one of the most important private collections in the world, the Nahmad Collection.
Miró is at home here, as a guest in the house of his friend. Because the friendship that, since their first meeting in Paris in 1920, linked the two artists throughout their lives, was also a catalyst for their creative passion.
The rooms host just one or two works at a time. Unlike the traditional exhibition that gathers and associates, it is no longer about accumulation but about the concentration and reception of the object in its singularity for contemplation and interpretation.

“CHATTERIES” (Cat Hugs)
The Postcard Museum presents a temporary exhibition of old postcards featuring cats.
Domestic animals have often been used to illustrate postcards, and cats are among the most frequent. Photographers and illustrators have provided numerous images, from big cats sleeping on a comfy pillow to kittens.
These illustrations appear on postcards and wall calendars distributed by mail carriers. In both cases, these images remain on display for several months (especially the calendars). These naturalistic scenes have a calming, even beneficial effect on their viewers.
Outside of any religious or political intent, the presence of animals that accompany our daily lives offers a sense of reassurance.
