From Friday, May 22 through Monday, May 25, 2026, LUMA Arles’ cultural guides and participants in its educational program will share a year of creations, research, and experimentation with the public.

Since 2015, LUMA Arles has developed an educational program that extends from the Parc des Ateliers to schools and community centers across Arles. From kindergarten through university, students explore themes connected to architecture, landscape, design, the environment, and LUMA Arles’ artistic program.

Each year, this collective work culminates in a public exhibition: a moment of presentation at the Parc des Ateliers where students share their ideas, projects, and creations.

Build Your City

 

Inspired by aerial views of Arles and The Parc des Ateliers, preschool and elementary school students came together to imagine the city of the future.

After a journey through the cities of yesterday and today, they stepped into the role of budding urban planners. Using colorful shapes and volumes, along with wooden figures, they gave full rein to their creativity: waterways, green spaces, public buildings, streets, and homes were imagined, built, and brought to life during the workshop, and are presented here today.

Project highlights:
10 classes
167 students

Funny Little Houses

 

Birdhouses are installed throughout the landscaped park at LUMA Arles.

As they discovered them along their walk, preschool students imagined the curious inhabitants that might live inside. During the workshop, they invented surprising, playful, and whimsical creatures, each with its own story and personality.
