Cultural outreach
Accessibility :
Access to the Bains Douches and activities are free.
The exhibition space is accessible to people with reduced mobility.
Individuals :
Wednesday to Sunday, 2pm to 5:30pm
or by appointment during the week.
During your visit, a cultural mediator can, if you wish, accompany you in your discovery of the exhibition.
For groups :
Monday to Friday, by appointment.
Les Bains Douches offers mediation programs to facilitate discovery and exchange between the works, the artists and the public. With a view to being open to all, each mediation proposal for groups is adapted to the age and/or specific needs of the audience. Our mediation activities are designed in partnership with a range of players or professionals in the fields of education, higher education, health, social work or any group wishing to discover the art center.
They can all be prepared in advance, in close collaboration with the mediator, either by a preparatory visit to the exhibition for accompanying adults, or by the dispatch of educational documents.
Following your visit, we can offer you specific support to continue our discussions.
Guided tour
Lasting one hour, the guided tour enables each group to discover the exhibition in the company of a cultural mediator. The guided tour provides an opportunity for collective descriptive and analytical work based on the exhibition, and for all participants to engage in free, informed discussion.
Guided tour + art workshop
In addition to the guided tour, a practical art workshop adapted to the public is offered. Each workshop is designed to be linked to the exhibition. The duration of a workshop visit varies according to the needs of the group.
For larger groups, art workshop visits can be organized in two parts, with the workshop taking place on your premises.
Cultural action
The art center supports schools, specialized health, social and medico-social establishments and associations in their cultural action projects.
Every year, Les Bains Douches develops a variety of projects involving contemporary art, within the framework of artistic and cultural education and cultural rights.
