Animation 1: Welcoming the school public:

School children are welcome at L'Atelier d'A: with its experience with the “Mini-Friends of La Cave d'Arts” of the Jean Moulin School in Louviers, ALCA welcomes students from schools in the sector and their teachers, to visit the exhibitions at Atelier d'A, or to exhibit there, depending on the program. Thus, we received classes from the School of Saint-Nicolas de Sommaire, the Langevin Wallon School Group and the College Marcel Pagnol de Gravigny, as well as students from the University Campus d'Évreux. • Presentation of the building Atelier d'A, which was the workshop of architect Hubert Lefrançois • Guided tour of the exhibition "Itinéraires Don Quixote; Célia Ivoy invites…" - Audio Excerpts - Presentation of Cervantes and the Persoonage by Don Quixote, as well as Sancho Panza and other remarcable figures from the novel, including female figures - Commentary on some paintings by Célia Ivoy (photographs–collages) and some works by artists invited by Célia: Cécile Dalnoky, Édith Delattre, Mina El Bakali, Jean-Claude Gaonac'h, Florian Georgin, Marie-Pierre Lamy, Sandrine Lepelletier, Patrick Picard, Jackye Soloy-Guiet, Carlos Solas and Wong Wa. • Evocation of the «ARCHi-TERRE» cycle: awareness of construction in raw earth, terracotta and natural fibers, in Normandy, and in the mnde.
The ASSOCIATION ALCA Les Amis de La Cave d'Arts aims to encourage artistic and friendly encounters. At the crossroads of aesthetics, it offers, with L'Atelier d'A, singular paths and is part of regional, and national programs: Festival Normandy Impressionist, Month of Architecture, Years of China, Brazil, Retrospective Gérard Fromanger, European Heritage Days. Alone or in partnership, ALCA realizes events (exhibitions, conferences, debates, concerts, shows) associating young talents and confirmed artists, of various origins and wide horizons.
The Atelier d'A Espace Hubert Lefrançois is a contemporary architect’s house, made of wood, glass and slate. Built in 1992, this building, with a sober and modern aesthetic, is designed according to the criteria of high environmental quality and landscape integration. The Espace Hubert Lefrançois, named after the architect who designed and built it, and where its architecture studio was located, hosts exhibitions of contemporary art and architecture, conferences, shows, workshops and artist residencies. Its architecture corresponds to the heritage of the twentieth century, in aesthetics and functionality.
