Fine art and patio

A living patio, between contemporary art and 13th-century heritage
Welcome to the oldest property in Avignon, in Provence.

A living patio, between contemporary art and 13th-century heritage

At the heart of Augustins 1261, the patio is not just a transitional space.
It is a place to breathe, of contemplation and dialogue between the centuries.

In this mineral setting, shaped by history, contemporary art appears in successive touches : sculptures, pictorial works, temporary installations. Each exhibition transforms the patio, without ever betraying its soul.

Art in Avignon

A heritage setting open to creation

Dating from the 13th century, the patio embodies the balance sought at Augustins 1261:
architectural sobriety, timeless lines, noble materials.

This historic setting becomes the stage for a subtle dialogue with contemporary artists, carefully selected.
The works take their place without overload, letting the stone, the light and the volumes breathe.

Rather than a classic gallery, frozen in time, this page is intended to become a living gallery :
