The CAP • Centre d’art de Saint-Fons in Lyon has launched its 40th anniversary programming with the exhibition "40+1." This showcase commemorates four decades since the institution's establishment in 1986 by artist Jean-Claude Guillaumon. The exhibition brings together forty-one artists from both local and broader regional contexts, whose varied artistic approaches and creative universes come together across all available spaces at the CAP. The selection aims to highlight individuals who represent the current dynamism of the art world and are influencing its future direction. The presentation serves as both a tribute to the center's history of supporting contemporary creation and public engagement, and a symbolic gesture looking ahead to its next chapter. The exhibition is described as a vibrant and celebratory gathering that reinforces the CAP's role as a cultural hub for sharing and transmission. It will remain on view through April 25, 2026.
