“Looking for a place where art defies expectations?” That’s exactly what Espace Projet offers. It’s a haven for artistic exploration. Espace Projet is not just another gallery.
Espace Projet encourages artists to experiment pushing boundaries. The goal is to foster a space where art thrives without formal constraints. It is where the act of creation takes center stage. It is a space where theater evolves and where the materials themselves speak volumes.
Félix-Antoine Boutin, the artistic director wants Espace Libre to be a place where artists can experiment. He wants the artists to transform reality. He wants them to offer a fresh perspective, free from current trends. Boutin wants to highlight artistic gestures over moral or ideological concerns. He wants to present daring works that spark new ideas.
Espace Projet values intergenerational collaboration. They recognize the importance of artistic heritage. They want to encourage emerging artists. Espace Projet fosters a meeting of minds. It values the mix of experiences. It is a place where shared knowledge shapes richer performances.
Espace Projet champions designers giving them a platform to initiate projects. They are vital to the creative process. Designers are artists who significantly shape performances. This initiative empowers set designers, lighting experts and costume creators. It gives composers the opportunity to bring their visions to life.
Starting in the 2024 to 2025 season, Espace Projet will create spaces for spontaneous creation. Every corner of the building will be available for artistic exploration. It will facilitate experimentation outside traditional schedules. Espace Libre aims to integrate these gestures into the artistic proposition.
Espace Projet supports experimental studies as complete works of art. It invites artists to explore elements like light, space and language. It offers the public precious artistic objects. This approach reimagines the artistic study, a form more commonly seen in visual arts. It asks how artists today can revitalize this concept.
Espace magazine, dedicated to contemporary sculpture has a connection to Espace Projet. Founded in 1987 the Centre de Diffusion 3D publishes Espace magazine.

Since 2013, André-Louis Paré has led Espace magazine. He aims to keep the magazine relevant. The magazine focuses on current trends in art and sculpture. It embraces a diversity of artistic practices related to spatial art.
Espace underwent a visual transformation. The magazine updated its format, font, paper finish and page design. Instead of four issues per year Espace now publishes three. The editions allow for a more substantial magazine and greater visibility for artists.
Espace magazine has always been a resource for artists, collectors and students. Its themed issues explore various topics. The topics included art and science, sculpture and nature.
