With Eric Cantona as Honorary Chairman, the Festival du Dessin returns in 2026 for its fourth edition, with the major group exhibition VIVA ITALIA! and some forty monographs ranging from poetic landscapes to singular art brut.
The Festival du Dessin will open its doors for its fourth edition from April 18 to May 17, 2026 in Arles.
It will be headlined by the group exhibition VIVA ITALIA!
as well as some forty monographic exhibitions, taking visitors into the worlds of poetic landscape artists, earthy humorists, daring abstract artists, striking figurative artists and singular outsiders, combining, as usual, recognized artists with more confidential names.
This fourth edition is already shaping up to be an unmissable cultural and festive event, punctuated throughout by debates, meetings, guided tours, workshops, screenings and concerts.
