IC.ON.IC, festival of visual arts
The fourth edition of the IC.ON.IC festival is coming to light up autumn in Amiens Métropole from 16 September to 11 November 2024. With a mix of urban art, contemporary routes and video mapping, there's no doubt about it, you're going to be blown away!
Dedicated to the plurality and diversity of visual arts within our territory, the IC.ON.IC festival brings together some thirty contemporary artists across three routes:
- The urban art route in the Saint-Leu district visible throughout the year and unveiling 12 new works from 16 September 2024.
- Creative residencies in public spaces from 16 September to 11 November 2024.
- The Video Mapping Festival organised by the association Les Rencontres Audiovisuelles on 18 and 19 October 2024.
Urban art route
Nestled in the Saint-Leu district, the route dedicated to urban art is enriched this year with 12 new works created by artists from a wide range of backgrounds, bearing witness to this movement's great wealth of techniques and aesthetics. These artists, each in their own style and with the street as their playground, surprise and amaze us as they offer up new ways of seeing the district and the city.
