As every year, the Frac located at the MECA in Bordeaux (Maison de l’Economie Créative et Artistique de la Nouvelle-Aquitaine) is taking part in the national weekend of regional contemporary art funds. For the occasion, a plethora of free cultural activities open to everyone is offered on Saturday and Sunday.

WEFRAC 2024 in Bordeaux 

Every year, Wefrac comes back at the early onset of autumn, bringing with it a unique programming experience region by region. In Bordeaux, it will take place at the MECA, the big contemporary toolbox located in the Saint-Jean-Belcier district, which houses the Frac collections alongside the Artistic Office of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region and the Book, Cinema, and Audiovisual Agency.

The date is set for Saturday, November 16 and Sunday, November 17, for 2 days filled with exciting and diverse highlights at the MECA on the 5th and 6th floors.

La MECA takes center stage 

What’s in store? Vernissages of exhibitions starting Saturday at 6 PM, a performance, and even a DJ set hosted by IBOAT with an electrifying night until midnight (last entry at 11 PM). The fun continues the next day with a daytime program from 1 PM to 6 PM, featuring everything from ephemeral tattoo booths and badge workshops to exclusive reserve visits for a sneak peek at the Frac's collection.

The art of hospitality  

During these 2 days, culture lovers can enjoy free access to 2 exhibitions: « Primavera, Primavera »  and « Sea Urchins of Memory » by Massinissa Selmani. The Frac is a collection of works that has been around for 40 years, growing over the years with new acquisitions and a focus on emerging and local artists. The next exhibition, opening on November 16, shines a light on young contemporary creation.
