Push the door open. That is all there is to do.

Who the place is for

Anyone who feels like creating, expressing themselves, or simply not being alone. You need no artistic experience, no referral, no paperwork.

You can come once to see, or come back every week. You can stay ten minutes or all morning. You can talk or stay quiet. No one will ask you to explain yourself.

What people often wonder

Do I need to know how to draw or paint?

No. There is no required skill, and that is not what interests us. Many people start here having never made anything.

Do I need to register or book?

No. You can come during opening hours, unannounced. If you would rather let us know you are coming, write to us. That works too.

Does it cost anything?

Coming and creating costs nothing. A membership card at 50 francs a year exists for those who wish to support the association, but it is not needed to be welcomed here.

Can I come just to watch?

Yes. Many people start that way. Sitting, watching, having a coffee: that is one way of being here among others.

Will I have to talk about what I am going through?

Never. No one will ask about your history, your health or your story. You share what you want, when you want.

Can I bring someone with me?

Yes, a relative or someone you trust. The place is open to those who accompany, too.

A question before you come?

Write to us. We answer plainly, with no formality.
