Art fair celebrates 30th anniversary

The Art au Quotidien fair will mark its 30th anniversary during the weekend of November 6 to 8, 2026, at the Palais des Congrès de Tours. The event will focus on artistic trades and the craftsmanship of local artisans.

New partnership for the fair

For the first time, the organizer Tours Evénements is collaborating with the Centre-Val de Loire Region to host the fair. The outdoor plaza will be arranged by the region with an animation from the "Métiers en scène" initiative, aimed at engaging young people with artistic trades.

Exhibitors from across the region

Over three days, nearly 150 exhibitors, half of whom are from the Indre-et-Loire department, will showcase their work in artistic trades, design, and contemporary creation across the five floors of the Palais des Congrès de Tours.

Special focus on animation and crafts

Among the exhibitors, experts in tapestry, ceramics, and woodworking will be featured. A "Pépites" space on level -1 of Vinci will highlight the creation of animated films and video games, with exhibitions, demonstrations, and projections scheduled throughout the event.

Highlighting paper and culinary arts

The Valesens association will display two exhibition collections during the fair. On level 0, the "Collectible Paper" exhibit will feature 15 designers reimagining the uses of paper, while the "Bocuse d'Or" exhibit will showcase plates created for the French team in a major international cooking competition.
