Organized by the city and local cultural institutions, the program features exhibitions, installations, and performances by international and French artists. Key participants include the Fondation Vincent van Gogh Arles, the Musée Réattu, and the LUMA Arles foundation. The event aims to position Arles as a year-round art destination, extending beyond the traditional summer photography festival.
