Lille is also a frequent venue for the Art Up! This contemporary art fair brings together young artists, sculptors, photographers and designers who are given the opportunity to demonstrate their creativity to the public. Lille has many art galleries and museums, which become venues for young talents during such holidays. Festivals are not limited to exhibitions alone. Within their framework, they also hold meet-and-greets with prominent artists, master classes, as well as special educational programs for children.
One of the brightest and most ambitious for the city is Lille 3000 Fantastic Art Festival. Its program covers several weeks, during which hundreds of exhibitions, music and theater performances, and film screenings are organized. For the period of the festival, the city turns into a huge open-air art venue where original art installations devoted to the most relevant topics of our time are installed everywhere.
Unusual designer jewelry appears in popular local museums, churches, and even in hotels. The festive transformation of the city is noticeable to everyone. A significant part of the festival's activities is free of charge so everyone can enjoy exhibitions and performances of novice artists. Lille is a permanent venue for the Lille International Short Film Festival.
