Editorial by Bruno Caron, President of Art Norac
Since the very first edition of Les Ateliers de Rennes within the old Couvent des Jacobins in 2008, we have been imagining—along with our cultural partners—an event of national and international dimension in Rennes and for Rennes, that would be demanding but meant for all, with an extensive work of mediation aimed at the young audience throughout the territory. Each new edition of Les Ateliers de Rennes reinforces artworks production and reveals to the public new artists coming from all horizons. Thus, from September 29th to December 2nd, "À Cris Ouverts" - conceived and led by curators duo Étienne Bernard and Céline Kopp - will present about 30 artists of 13 different nationalities.

Les Ateliers de Rennes and Art Norac
For 10 years, Les Ateliers de Rennes has been exploring the themes Art&Economy / Art&Business. During each edition, a new curator is invited to revisit this theme. The event’s functioning itself is one of a kind as two-third of its budget come from private funds. The main activity of Art Norac is the organization of Les Ateliers de Rennes. It also supports many other initiatives and contemporary art actors in Rennes and in Brittany, such as the MAE Master, 40mcube, the archives de la critique d'art, which are otherwise partners of Les Ateliers de Rennes.
