Beyond the Walls

Extend the experience: Grenoble Art Up! goes beyond the walls of Alpexpo.

Grenoble Art Up! aims to be a unifying event in the field of contemporary art, highlighting the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region and its cultural structures.

Grenoble Art Up! enriches the visitor experience by orchestrating an exhibition outside the walls. It also puts the spotlight on the abundant offerings of the region’s museums.
For this first edition, 3 museums and art centres from the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region are joining us. The Fonds Glénat, Magasin-CNAC and the VOG are offering special tours of their temporary and permanent exhibitions to coincide with the fair. These visits will help to ensure that the Grenoble Art Up! experience lasts beyond the fair, as well as raising Grenoble’s profile as an influential cultural and artistic player.

from 15 February to the end of 2024

Women in Rembrandt

The Convent of Sainte-Cécile celebrates the 400th anniversary of its foundation by the Bernardine nuns in 1624. Desecrated during the French Revolution, this heritage building in the heart of Grenoble’s historic centre is home to Glénat, France’s 7th largest publisher. The Sainte-Cécile convent is open to the public, thanks to the general interest missions and cultural events programme developed by the Fonds Glénat pour le patrimoine et la création.

Currently on show is season 5 of the Rembrandt cabinet, a small museum devoted to the etchings of the Dutch master of etching, Women at Rembrandt’s.

from 19 October to 3 November 2024
