Salon des Artistes d'Écouché

Écouché-les-Vallées: an inspiring setting for artists

Located at the confluence of the Orne and Udon rivers, Écouché-les-Vallées is a commune rich in remarkable natural and architectural heritage. Its Notre-Dame church, its old houses, and the landscapes of the nearby Suisse Normande offer an inexhaustible source of inspiration for artists. It is in this context that the municipality decided to create a Salon des Artistes, a showcase for local and regional artistic creation.

A multidisciplinary salon

The Salon des Artistes d'Écouché stands out for its artistic diversity. Exhibitors present works from various disciplines:

• Painting: oil, acrylic, watercolor, mixed media
• Sculpture: wood, stone, metal, terracotta, resin
• Graphic arts: drawing, engraving, illustration
• Photography: art prints, reports
• Decorative arts: ceramics, stained glass, textiles

This plurality allows visitors to discover a wide range of sensibilities and techniques, from the most classic to the most contemporary.

Meet the artists

One of the major assets of the salon is the presence of the artists at the exhibition venue throughout the event. Visitors can thus interact directly with the creators, understand their artistic approach, ask questions about their techniques, and acquire original works.

This proximity between artists and the public is at the heart of the salon's philosophy, which aims to be a space for sharing, art education, and promotion of living creation.

A cultural commitment for the territory

Supported by the municipality of Écouché-les-Vallées, the Salon des Artistes is part of an ambitious cultural policy aimed at:

• Promoting culture through art in the territory
• Raising public awareness of contemporary artistic creation
• Enriching the cultural offerings of the municipality
• Providing a showcase for local and regional artists

A convivial space with a refreshment bar and light catering allows for extending the visit in a warm atmosphere.
