LEGACY
The 11th International Symposium of In Situ Art, held at Les Jardins du Précambrien in Val-David, will take place from July 14 to October 14, 2012 on the theme of LEGACY.
Four new artists from throughout the Americas have been invited to produce artworks that will be displayed along three kilometres of forest trails, in addition to the ten artworks created in 2011.

Several clearings along the trails will be set up as agoras where visitors can meet with the artists and discover their works. Once again this year, a collective work will be created by the public. We invite you, one and all, to come join us for this 17th anniversary of the Jardins du Précambrien symposiums.
