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.
Le Festival du Dessin will open the doors of its fourth edition from April 18 to May 17, 2026, in Arles.
Its headliner will be the collective exhibition VIVA ITALIA!
but it will also feature around forty monographic exhibitions that will lead visitors into the worlds of poetic landscape artists, exuberant humorists, bold abstract illustrators, striking figurative artists, and unique creators of outsider art, combining, as usual, well-known artists with more confidential names.
This fourth edition already promises to be an unmissable cultural and festive event, punctuated throughout its duration by talks, meetings, guided tours, workshops, screenings, and concerts.
