Symphonie Poïpoï

Let's celebrate the centenary of Robert Filliou's birth

Behind this title lies the celebration, at le 19, Crac, of the centenary of the birth of artist Robert Filliou.

Drawing party with Melissa Brown

Friendly after-work event for adults and children with New York artist Melissa Brown.
Artist Melissa Brown (born 1974) is a painter, draftswoman, publisher, and creator of public art works and situations. Since May, she has been working with the team at the art center, le 19, on a project titled Postcard for/Montbéliard. Melissa Brown’s work transforms everyday imagery into a source of reflection on perception, memory, and the experience of time. In the Pays de Montbéliard, this translates into a broader reflection on tourism and the emotional perception we develop toward places steeped in history and heritage, as well as more intimate or personal experiences.

This summer, Melissa Brown invites you to take part in a collective artwork during a drawing evening: starting from postcards created by the artist herself, come share an image, a memory, or an emotion during a friendly evening in her company.

Your drawings will become part of an animated piece dedicated to memories of Montbéliard, created with the participation of the public and exhibited starting June 2027.

— Free, open entry
— Refreshments offered by le 19, Crac
