(en) Artists of Belleville will open their doors! The occasion for us to discover diverse works with the people who made them, in exceptional places that are seldom open. There are tons of things to see but I've picked some ateliers that you'll love and that are close by each other. It will have to be a small group because we'll enter small spaces, so please be sure and sign up only if you're sure you're coming. This is a pay-as-you-will event. I think it's worth at least 20€. This event will last between 2 and 3 hours, depending on whether you'd like to chat with all artists or not. We'll end close by metro station Belleville. (fr) Les artistes du quartier Belleville nous ouvrent leurs portes ! L'occasion de découvrir des œuvres diverses en compagnie des artistes qui les ont créées et dans des lieux exceptionnels et rarement ouverts au public. Il y a énormément de choses à voir mais j'ai sélectionné quelques ateliers que vous allez adorer et qui sont assez proches les uns des autres. Le groupe sera forcément petit parce qu'on entrera dans de petits lieux. Donc, merci de ne vous inscrire que si vous êtes sûr.e de venir. Prix libre. Suggéré : 20€. Liquide ou Wero. On mettra 2 ou 3h, selon que vous ayez envie de parler avec tous les artistes ou pas. Et on finira près du métro Belleville.

Chers tous ! **"Clair-obscur" à la Pinault Collection** "Prenant pour appui la réflexion du philosophe italien Giorgio Agamben, l’exposition « **Clair-obscur** » emprunte son titre au fameux *chiaroscuro* qui s’invite dans la peinture depuis le 16e siècle, le maniérisme et l’âge baroque, à l’image de l’œuvre du Caravage qui en intensifie l’usage, plongeant le monde terrestre dans l’obscurité, tandis que des rayons de lumière accentuent la tension dramatique et les enjeux spirituels sous-jacents à l’œuvre. Poursuivant ce voyage au cœur des ténèbres, Goya emporte dans son oeuvre toute la part sombre de l’humanité, et le clair-obscur, tel qu’il le parachève, nimbe toujours de sa profondeur et de son mystère la création contemporaine, en particulier, celle de **Sigmar Polke**, dans sa chapelle hallucinée *Axial Age* (2005-2007). **Philippe Parreno**, qui revisite les peintures noires de la *Quinta del Sordo* à la flamme de la bougie, rappelle combien ce cycle alchimiste a ouvert les vannes de la sensibilité moderne. L’influence du clair-obscur se fait autant sentir dans la palette sourde des toiles énigmatiques et mélancoliques de **Victor Man** — dont un ensemble de peintures est présenté en Galerie 3 — que dans la poétique des œuvres de **Bill Viola**, qui s’inspire des maîtres anciens pour faire advenir, dans une temporalité ralentie, des corps qui émergent de l’ombre..." Pinault Collection Pour acheter votre billet (créneau 14h30) : https://billetterie.pinaultcollection.com/selection/timeslotpass?productId=10229684726144&gtmStepTracking=true Puis, pour ceux qui le souhaitent nous irons dans une brasserie dans les alentours pour boire, manger, discuter, échanger... Aussi, assurez-vous, je vous prie de vos intentions de participation. Bien à vous tous, belles escapades artistiques et à bientôt ! Jélila

(fr) Le quartier Charonne a conservé ses airs de village. Il abrite plusieurs jardins bien cachés dans des styles bien différents. Un point commun quand même : ce ne sont pas des parcs urbains là juste pour être jolis et sympa, ils existent pour permettre à des gens de cultiver des fruits, légumes et fleurs. Oh et ils sont jolis aussi ;) Et les gens qui y font pousser des choses seront là et pourront vous parler de leur expérience dans ces lieux uniques. On ira aussi visiter une charmante église qui date du XIIè siècle. Saint-Germain, vous connaissez ? Non, pas Saint-Germain des Prés ;) Même avec toute cette verdure qu'on va traverser, celle-ci n'a rien à voir avec les Prés. Le tout en moins de 2km, donc un parcours assez court, ce qui nous permettra de garder un rythme très tranquille. On aura donc plein de temps pour nous aérer les poumons au cœur de ces parenthèses bucoliques en pleine ville. Rendez-vous devant la mairie du XXè. Prévenez-moi si vous allez arriver tard. Sinon, on commence à bouger à 14h pile. (en) Charonne is a neighbourhood that still feels a bit like the village it used to be. It hosts some well hidden gardens and we'll visit some in very different styles. They do have one thing in common: they're not city parks that exist just to look and feel good, they're here to give people an opportunity to grow fruits, veggies and flowers. They do look and feel good too ;) And the people who grow stuff there will be there to talk with you about their experience in these unique places. Oh and we'll also visit a lovely little church from the 12th century. Ever heard of Saint-Germain? No, not Saint-Germain des Prés, though we will cross some green spaces indeed ;) Less than 2km total, so a shortish walk, which will let us go at a leisurely pace. Which will give us plenty of time to get our dose of fresh air and enjoy these pastoral breaks at the heart of the city. Let's meet in front of the 20th district City Hall. Tell me if you're going to be late. Otherwise, we'll start moving at 2pm sharp.

Let’s meet and wander the galleries! General admission on Sundays is free.

**History** The [Franklin Park Conservatory](https://www.fpconservatory.org/)’s roots trace back to 1852 when the Franklin County Agricultural Society purchased 88 acres of land to host the Ohio State Fair. After the fair moved to its permanent home, the city of Columbus transformed the grounds into Franklin Park in 1884. This transition shifted the space from a temporary event site to a dedicated public green space for the growing community. The park became a central hub for outdoor recreation and early civic gatherings in the neighborhood. In 1895, the landmark Victorian-style Palm House opened its doors, drawing heavy inspiration from the Glass Palace of the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. This iron and glass structure became an immediate icon, housing exotic plants that residents would otherwise never see in the Midwest. It remains the oldest part of the facility and serves as a primary link to the conservatory’s 19th-century origins. For decades, it stood as a singular testament to grand horticultural architecture in Central Ohio. A major turning point arrived in 1992 when Columbus hosted AmeriFlora '92, an international horticultural exhibition. This massive event prompted a $16 million renovation and expansion, adding significantly more greenhouse space and the Dorothy M. Davis Showhouse. The festival put the conservatory on the international map and fundamentally changed its scale and ambition. Following the event, the facility transitioned from a city-run park to a private, non-profit organization. In 2003, the conservatory’s identity was further defined through a long-term partnership with world-renowned glass artist Dale Chihuly. After a successful exhibition, the Friends of the Conservatory purchased most of the glass installations, creating the largest permanent collection of Chihuly’s work in a botanical setting. These vibrant glass sculptures are now woven throughout the biomes, blending art with nature. This addition helped cement the conservatory as a premier cultural destination rather than just a botanical garden. Recent years have seen the site expand beyond the glass walls to emphasize community engagement and outdoor education. The 2018 opening of the Scotts Miracle-Gro Foundation Children’s Garden added two acres of interactive landscape designed for hands-on learning. The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company Community Garden Campus also provides local residents with space to grow their own food and learn sustainable practices. Today, the conservatory balances its historic Victorian charm with modern commitments to local ecology and the Columbus community. **Maps of the Conservatory** Here is the [main map](https://www.fpconservatory.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/franklin-park-zones-scaled.jpg) of the Conservatory grounds. Here's a [map of the areas](https://www.fpconservatory.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/ConstructionMap-2026.jpg) in which the Conservatory has ongoing construction (see below). **Summary** For this event, we'll explore Columbus's highly-rated and very popular Conservatory. As mentioned above, the Conservatory is doing renovations on parts of the facility. These renovations are scheduled to be ongoing until the Fall of next year. Basically, no matter when you go to the Conservatory over the next 18 months, you're going to see some metaphorical orange barrels. So let's just go now. **Tickets and pricing** On the first Sunday of every month, the Conservatory is free for residents of Franklin County and the city of Columbus. You must bring an ID to receive this discount. (Yes, they do check.) Otherwise, tickets are $25.20. Members of the Columbus Zoo (of which I am one) do get a discount on tickets, though I have never actually bought a ticket to the Conservatory (I've always gone on free days). I believe the discount is $4. Parking is always free. If you have additional questions about pricing or whether and for what you qualify, you can reach the Conservatory at 614-715-8000. **Where we'll meet** We will meet just outside the main entrance. I guarantee there's going to be a line. The Conservatory is always popular on free days, and especially in nice weather. **Your GPS is stupid!** Be careful simply typing "Franklin Park Conservatory" in your GPS and going where it tells you. The only way to access the parking lot to the Conservatory is off of Broad Street. Unfortunately, since Google Maps is unable to find its way out of a wet paper bag, it has a tendency to want to take people to a mythical, non-existent Conservatory entrance on Nelson Road. If your GPS does this, just drive to the north side of the Conservatory along Broad Street. Your GPS should then redirect you to the main Conservatory entrance. If your GPS doesn't, then throw your phone away\* and look for the big Conservatory sign on the south side of Broad Street between Nelson Road and Franklin Park West. You also should be able to use the map pin I've provided, below, and it should properly direct you to where you need to drive. \* Don't really do this. **After the event** After stopping to smell the roses, for those that are interested, we'll head to the nearby [Columbus Brewing Company Beer Hall](https://columbusbrewing.com/location/beer-hall/) for [drinks](https://columbusbrewing.com/location/beer-hall/#draft-list) and [lunch](https://columbusbrewing.com/location/beer-hall/#food-menu). The Beer Hall's actual address is [200 Kelton Ave, Columbus, OH 43205](https://www.google.com/maps/place/200+Kelton+Ave,+Columbus,+OH+43205/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x883889a94ac4acad:0xadb2e60240dbc38b?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111) (it's literally just on the south side of the Conservatory). Be sure this is where your GPS is taking you when you use it, as the Brewing Company has a taproom on Harrison Avenue that is *not* what you want for this event. We should be at the Beer Hall by 1 if you can't make the Conservatory and just want to join us for drinks.
