Artists, children and associations meet for workshops at Hangar Y

Art Explora has teamed up with Thanks for Nothing, a non-profit organization specializing in the design and implementation of cultural and solidarity projects in the fields of education, the environment and solidarity, for a unique project ahead of the pre-opening of Hangar Y on the weekend of October 22 and 23.  

On Saturday October 8 and Monday October 10, the hangar opened its doors to associations, schools and colleges, for creative and artistic workshops led by some of the most important artists on the international contemporary scene .
