About the Festival

Since it was founded in 2010, the Normandie Impressionniste festival has brought a unique dynamic to France: it unites both public and private players from an entire region around an artistic journey that examines the special relationship between a territory and a cultural movement which shook up the history of art.

The festival was a precursor, by bringing up to date an artistic movement in a dialogue that it still maintains with contemporary creation and by inviting us to discover its heritage. During the course of its editions (2010, 2013, 2016 and 2020), it has become one of France’s major artistic events. From 22 March to 22 September, Normandie Impressionniste is inviting you to celebrate 150 years of Impressionism with an exceptional 5th edition. Embodying the “spirit of invention” dear to the impressionists, the programme is honouring artistic creation in all its forms and offering numerous ambitious and generous
propositions across the entirety of Normandy.
