Exhibition "This is not a tile"
From 1 to 22 November 2026
Exposition temporaire
Free
From November 1 to 22, 2026, discover the exhibition "This is not a tile"! Different Alsatian artists revisit the Biberschwanz, a traditional "beaver tail" tile and reveal their surprising creations...
This exhibition is organised in partnership with the association "L-art beyond the eye", which aims to promote the accessibility of blind and visually impaired audiences to the emotions of the discovery of art, nature and culture, in their most immediate forms, such as those most elaborate:
"These are works made from ancient Alsatian tiles by artists who support the Art Association beyond the eye. All these artists have been supporting the association for several years on a fairly simple principle: they are asked for a work on a theme (here that of tiles) where everyone can express their artistic vision from this object. The work can be abstract to free figurative to each to use his technique of choice. When a work is sold, each artist undertakes to pay 50% to the association. Here the tiles will be sold for 350 € piece. Each time it is a collective exhibition, presenting one to two works per artist always according to the same principle. As an artist, we have supported the association for over 30 years for some. A co-op system exists to involve new personalities."
