5 Exhibitions in Avignon and its Surroundings to Shine from Spring to Summer

5 expos à Avignon et ses environs pour rayonner du printemps à l’été

A series of five art exhibitions are scheduled from spring to autumn 2026 in and around Avignon, France. The program includes a refreshed permanent display of 1980s art at the Collection Lambert featuring Jean-Michel Basquiat and Nan Goldin, a solo show by Julien Prévieux critiquing artificial intelligence at Le Grenier à Sel, a photography exhibition of South Korean landscapes by Michael Kenna at Galerie Rousset, and other shows focusing on artists from Asia and the Middle East.

This season highlights Avignon's significance as a cultural destination beyond its famous theater festival, blending historical venues with contemporary themes. The exhibitions connect local institutions with global art narratives, from critiques of technology and power to cross-cultural dialogues, reinforcing the region's role in presenting internationally relevant visual art.
