The 18th edition of Art en Vrac presented the works of 75 contemporary artists. The public, which came in large numbers—art lovers, newcomers, and buyers—moved from one exhibition space to another, spread throughout the town. Salies-de-Béarn was thus transformed into a vast open-air gallery where all forms of art met—photos, videos, paintings, sculptures, and ceramics—in varied locations such as gardens, the temple, the church, halls, and houses Putting culture at the heart of Salies. The opening, at the Rotunda of the Convention Center, was an opportunity for the president of Art en Vrac, Valérie Pascal, to thank the town hall for its support. Thanks to it, this event can shine a little brighter each year, and offers artists a space of freedom, Marie-Ange Minvielle, first deputy mayor in charge of culture, continued: This event is a source of pride for the town, with these three days spent meeting artists. Mayor Frédéric Domercq also spoke: "We are committed to putting culture at the heart of Salies. We announced it, and we will do it.
