The City of Sète is hosting a new edition of the Journées ateliers portes ouvertes (JAPO), an open studios event, this weekend on October 10 and 11. The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday, offering visitors a chance to explore the creative processes of local artists. An information point will be set up on the parvis des Halles, a public square in the city center, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. to assist attendees and provide details about the participating artists and activities. During the event, visitors can explore a variety of artistic expressions, including sculptures, paintings, installations, photographs, and videos. The organizers describe JAPO as "an invitation to exchange with the artists, to share their approaches and to discover the behind-the-scenes of creation." This means attendees can engage directly with artists, learn about their techniques, and gain insight into the creative process that goes into making art. The event aims to bring the community together by showcasing the diversity of artistic talent in Sète. It provides a unique opportunity for art lovers to meet creators, ask questions, and witness the inspirations and methods that shape their work. For those interested in the full lineup of artists and activities, detailed information is available on the City of Sète's official website. JAPO is part of a broader tradition of open studios events that take place in cities across France and beyond. These events encourage public engagement with the arts and highlight the importance of local creativity. By offering a platform for artists to share their work and process, JAPO supports the cultural life of Sète and strengthens the connection between artists and their audiences.
