Inventing a cultural venue for emerging voices

The Magasins Généraux aims to identify, support and make visible the artists, creators, project leaders, thinkers, activists, non-profit and general public from all backgrounds who contribute to the vibrant emerging artistic and cultural landscape of today.

By committing to these emerging voices, their inspirations, their projects and their interests, the Magasins Généraux intends to become a place where tomorrow's art and ideas meet and come to life.

An artistic laboratory where a wide range of creative fields come together, the Magasins Généraux is a platform for unexpected encounters, a forum for exchange and debate, a place to live and celebrate, open to the city.

As a reflection of bold and committed initiatives, the Magasins Généraux offers a diverse range of programming formats. Our programming is built around issues that affect society, the values of inclusiveness and the challenges of social and ecological transition, while appealing to the widest possible audience.
