"Under Italian Skies: Visiting French and Nordic Artists from the 16th to the 19th Centuries"
From Wednesday, July 16 2008 to Sunday, October 5 2008
Renaissance and the Roman muse.
Artists have been a migratory species since the Renaissance, and this has had a profound influence on the conception of European art. Italy in particular has always attracted those artists seeking a muse.
Painters of all nationalities and creeds have come to Rome since time immemorial, as the historic capital of the Antiquity and of Christianity. They came to build their art from common ground in a place where they could learn from each other, a place where artistic exchange is as natural as breathing…

Pyramids up against AP mines.
For the past fourteen years Handicap International has organised a major information campaign day every September.
This year, as a protest against the use of anti-personnel (AP) mines, the people of Rennes are called upon to throw away an old pair of shoes into a giant pile, to sign the petition against the use or stockpiling of these inhuman devices, and to show their support for victims.
Volunteers and even a number of performers will be working to make this militant event a fun and entertaining day as well, with shows, activities and concerts.

"No Holding Back: Cleynay Catches the Eye"
From Thursday, June 12 2008 to Sunday, September 21 2008
Professional amateurs…
The In fine, Sans réserve exhibit is made up of 40 or so works that span from the 15th to the 20th century.
There is no overriding theme or historic timeline. The group was free to organise the display space along their own rules: parallels, a taste for this or that, a dialogue between the works… This subjective, almost whimsical approach is backed by serious, extensive documentation for each piece.
The group-members are not professionals and yet each has his own experience, his point of view as a spectator, and this provides a solid method for the elaboration of a display space which gives visitors the best possible experience…

Garden stories, usage and landscapes"
From Wednesday, May 7 2008 to Saturday, January 24 2009
The green thumb of Rennes…
The city of Rennes is linked to the history of gardening. Though green areas were located solely outside the city during the Middle Ages, gardens soon became a central feature of the city's landscape, especially in new areas such as Courrouze.
This feature is the focus of the exhibition: green spaces in Rennes and the ways in which locals make the most of them.

Dinard British Film Festival
From Thursday, October 2 2008 to Sunday, October 5 2008
Friendly British invasion.
The English aristocracy were completely won over by Dinard's gentle climate and fine sandy beaches as early as the mid-19th century. As a result, many hotels and villas were built amongst the town's numerous palm trees and camellias (more than 400 villas are today listed historic monuments). Dinard also boasts a wide array of leisure activities including tennis, golf and a casino, and has over time become marked by a definite "Britishness".
It is then fitting that the British film festival should be hosted here. The event offers public and professional audiences an opportunity to discover British cinema - once in a while the audience will see a box office hit before it hits the big screens. Favourites such as The Full Monty and Shallow Grave owe a lot to the Dinard film festival.
Dinard is also a privileged venue for premiers that might interest French distributors.

Risk is a confrontation between five artists chosen by the director of La Criée arts centre - the criteria were the quality and diversity of painted works, sculptures and installations.
Each creation is specific to one artist, some are even opposed to each other. Yet, overall, they work together to show strong dualities that have permeated the aesthetic and political worlds, such as Destitution/Power, Solid/Fragile, Consistent/Weakening, Success/Failure.

This exhibition of forty large-scale black and white photographs, introduced by Pierre de Vallombreuse, appears a moving homage to the Gwitchin, a community of Native Alaskans that has to fight for survival every day.
This exhibition is a part of Vallombreuse's overriding photo project entitled "Hommes Racine" (or "Root Men"). This massive undertaking represents 5 years of exploration and dialogue; 12 indigenous peoples, 12 completely different environments - 12 examples of how climate change can affect human lives.
The "Hommes Racine" project is a photographic journey, an awakening. It aims to depict the intimate connection between man and his environment and in doing so promotes a sustainable vision of humanity, where nature is protected in the name of human life.

"King Arthur: A Legend in the Making"
From Tuesday, July 15 2008 to Sunday, January 4 2009
The once and future king.
This first ever exhibition dedicated to the legend of King Arthur aims to retrace, understand and explain the mythology related to Arthur. This event boasts the prestigious "Exposition d'intérêt national" label (or "exhibition of interest to the nation") which is granted by the ministry of culture.
This legend is one if not the most important literary and artistic theme in European culture, and it has always been a highly-popular story. The Champs Libre exhibition aims to reveal the actual King arthur, the keystone of a veritable literary institution that blends magic, war and love… Aside the actual historical fact, this expo refers to old sources as much as contemporary adaptations, in order to better understand the birth of an almost universal legend.
Over 200 works linked to the myth will be on display, along with a number of historical and iconographical documents.

Visit the Rennes Musée des Beaux-Arts
From Saturday, January 1 2005 to Wednesday, December 31 2008
Retrace the history of art.
Like most of France's museums, the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Rennes dates from the Revolution. Founded in 1794 with works confiscated from the town's religious and civil buildings, the museum nonetheless owes the bulk of its collections to the magnificent "cabinet of curiosities" of Christophe-Paul de Robien (1698-1756), President of the Breton Parliament.
From La Femme entre les deux âges (16th century) by Saint-Luc de Heemskerck to contemporary art, the museum also houses an Egyptian archaeological collection (bronzes, ceramics, etc.), an exceptional collection of drawings, and a collection of engravings.
The contemporary art collection focuses on two main areas: artists with Breton roots, such as the Affichistes, and the various currents in abstract art from Sam Francis to Aurélie Nemours.

Salsa evening
From Tuesday, October 31 2006 to Wednesday, December 31 2008
Salsa style.
Most people think salsa means Cuba.
The roots of salsa are, in fact, more cosmopolitan. Salsa is a music and dance movement, Cuban and Caribbean in origin, that grew up in New York amongst the Porto Ricans, one of the most disadvantaged groups in the US between the 1920s and the 1960s.
A far cry from the folklore surrounding it today, salsa is above all else a form of sharing. Sharing senses and emotions, words and music, dance and bodies. If you let the Afro-Cuban rhythms get to you, you might just find yourself forgetting your steps!
Sip on a mojito, cuba libre or caipirinha, enjoy a refreshing tropical fruit juice, and let yourself dance.

Visit the Castle's Grand Dungeon and Tower
From Wednesday, December 1 2004 to Wednesday, December 31 2008
Explore Saint-Malo's rich and varied past.
Since 1927, the main castle keep has housed the collections of the Municipal Museum that became the city's Museum of History after renovation by the French Historic Monuments department in 1950.
This massive horseshoe-shaped tower was built from 1424 onwards on the orders of Duke Jean V of Brittany.
It rises to a total height of 35 metres.
The Museum was extended in 1988 by a further three exhibition rooms created in the Tour Générale and is scheduled for yet another extension into the Quic-en-Groigne tower and the Petit Donjon.
The history of Saint-Malo and its maritime tradition begins with shipbuilding and the opening up of the Newfoundland fishing grounds, the region's two main activities in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Visit Long-Cours Cap-Hornier Museum
From Wednesday, December 1 2004 to Wednesday, December 31 2008
Attacking the Tour Solidor!
The Solidor Tower at Saint-Servan houses the Saint-Malo Museum's collection on this theme.
Numerous models, ship's instruments and objects, made by mariners during their long voyages or brought back as souvenirs of distant shores, fire the imagination with images of extraordinary voyages on the great sailing ships of the late 19th and early 20th century that carried cargoes of nitrates from Chile, wood and grain from California or Australia, nickel from New Caledonia, etc.
The "Solidor Tower" is in fact a fortified structure that originally consisted of a small guard-tower, the existing bastion which incorporates sections of Gallo-Roman masonry, and the three towers connected by curtain walls to the main body of the fortress.
Work on building the fortified keep began between 1369 and 1382, on the orders of Duke Jean IV of Brittany as a means of controlling the town of Saint-Malo, recalcitrant to his authority.
