A very young association, La Pépinière was founded in early 2019 by a team that wanted to make an active contribution to the cultural life of the Port-Bail-sur-Mer region.
The first goal was to create the “Les Pinsonores” festival around music, street art and a local market, which should have been launched in May 2020. The organizers and the many volunteers were delighted to be able to invest in this artistic and family project The health crisis has endangered this event for two consecutive years.
The scenography project Bird - a monumental metal sculpture that moves with the seasons in public space - enlivened the city of Port-Bail-sur-Mer and became a symbol of the fact that art knows no boundaries and can constantly reinvent itself even in the face of adversity. A driving force for the association which, despite all the pitfalls, has pursued several socio-cultural projects in line with its objectives – including the musical-comedy project carried out at the Henri Vally primary school in spring 2021.
The organizing team is now remobilized with around 12 determined volunteers and is happy to finally settle down in Port-Bail-sur-Mer
