Festival d'Art de l'Estran

Contemporary art facing the sea

The Festival d'Art de l'Estran is an open-air contemporary art biennale that takes over the coastline of the Côte de Granit Rose, between the towns of Trébeurden, Pleumeur-Bodou, and Trégastel. Every two years, the coastal landscapes become the setting for an open-air exhibition where artists from all backgrounds create works specifically designed for the sites that host them.

In situ works in dialogue with the landscape

The festival's unique feature is its in situ creation: each artist is invited to design a work in direct response to the location — pink granite rocks, foreshore, coastal paths, beaches, and protected natural areas. The disciplines represented cover sculpture, installation, photography, performance, and video. Around fifteen contemporary works are to be discovered along a free and accessible artistic trail.

An event co-organized by the territory

The Festival d'Art de l'Estran is co-organized by Lannion-Trégor Communauté and the municipalities of Trébeurden, Trégastel, and Pleumeur-Bodou. Since its creation about seventeen years ago, it has established itself as a major event for contemporary art in Brittany, attracting a curious and diverse audience thanks to the quality of the invited artists and the incomparable beauty of the natural setting.

Young Creation Project

The festival also includes a Young Creation Project aimed at supporting and promoting emerging artists, offering them the opportunity to present their work in a professional context and an exceptional landscape setting.
