For the first time, ACTA worked with Claye-Souilly’s educational, early childhood and cultural facilities, thanks to a partnership with the Roissy Pays de France agglomeration and the Orangerie public library.

On 6, 7, 9 and 10 November, Constance Arizzoli led 4 workshops at the Arc-en-Ciel children’s play centre, offering a time for artistic discovery of natural elements. Marc Pouyet visited the Maryse Bastié and town centre kindergarten schools on 13 and 14 November, offering children a chance to create land art individually and collectively using materials they had collected beforehand.

On 15 November, a group of childminders, a leisure centre and the residents of Claye-Souilly came to meet Marc Pouyet, discovering the exhibition in the library and creating land art with the artist.

After an exploration of natural elements over the seasons and in 3 different districts, the “Land Art Encounters” project is coming to an end. However, the exploration of the link between art and nature continues for ACTA, with the creation of the show Le chant de l’arbre, scheduled for 18 to 20 January in Villiers-le-Bel.
