Trainings and Higher Education

Preparing Your Visit

Professors or students are invited to contact the head of public services to define visit content or thematic interventions according to the disciplines involved.

Specific resources can be shared within educational partnerships: graphic documents on La Criée's visual identity, its architecture, bibliography on thematic cycles, archive documents, etc.

Visits

Guided Visit

The visit generally includes a presentation of the art center, its artistic cycle, current exhibition, exhibited artist's approach, and works. It is designed as a privileged time for exchanges with students, defined by course themes: art history, cultural mediation, social sciences, design, etc., mobilizing the art center's resources.

Guided visits are scheduled Tuesday to Friday, between 9:30 AM and 7:00 PM.
Free, by request and reservation.
Duration: 1 to 2 hours

Self-Guided Visit

Teachers can come with their students independently and conduct the visit using educational resources (freely accessible on the website) and the visit booklet (available at La Criée). Drawing workshops can take place in the exhibition, subjected to space constraints that can vary depending on the exhibition.

Self-guided visits are accessible by request and reservation only:
Tuesday to Saturday, from 1:00 PM to 7:00 PM
Duration: 1 hour
