Les Portes du Dragon - Portes ouvertes de la galerie-atelier Art Quam Anima

The gallery is open continuously from 11am to 8pm: come in at any time, without booking, to see the work and meet the artists. Both artists are there throughout the three days, and they work on site: between the events, you can watch them paint and draw live, and talk with them while they work. Two events mark each day.

Artist's books — presentation by Caroline Lopez (20 min)
Friday and Saturday at 12pm, Sunday at 2pm. The artist presents her handmade books: a moment to handle them and talk about how they are made.

Piano & painting: ideamorphism live (20 min)
Every day at 6pm. Arnaud Quercy plays jazz harmonic progressions at the piano and shows, on a selection of paintings, what those chords become in colour — including what his colour blindness changes in the way he checks them. Followed by drinks at the entrance — prosecco and fruit juice.

"Paint the Music" workshop (2 h)
Sunday 4 October, 11am–1pm. Painting from listening, guided by Arnaud Quercy. No prior experience needed, materials provided. 12 participants maximum, €70 per person, booking required — the only event that requires registration.
