In April 2022, the association Gabare And Co, made up of a few inhabitants of Chênehutte, bought the old classroom of the Chênehutte girls' school. After 2 1/2 months of work, the bookstore-café opens its doors.
In December, it had more than 300 members, including some 20 active members.
The venue was able to host festivals, artists, writers and even hire an intern.
Today, we are looking for tools, means to federate around the place the associations of Gennois and the inhabitants of the villages.
The structure is thus thought, but always in motion.
Today, the association is structured around commissions and a steering committee of three people elected by the collegiate council for one year. Each member can invest a commission, the general objective being to co-create projects. It is a place of cultural experimentation and open to the world where everyone is free to feel at home.
Each month, a varied program is invented thanks to your proposals of shows, workshops, balls...
