Art amateurs? exhibitions and galleries?
Hello,

I am quiet new in Geneva and I am really interested in visiting galleries now and then.

Any Art amateurs would be interested in checking what's going on on Geneva Art scene ? 

Let me know,
we could meet in old town and go around the galleries, and share our impressions!

have a great afternoon,

Lili

 Hi Everybody,

I have all your threads and I am  vey curious of the Giacometti vernissage and also the Japanese prints. A propos Japan, at the end of the month, there will be the "Mois de la culture japonaise" (http://www.geneve.ch.emb-japan.go.jp/mois2009/mois09_prg.htm)

What I can tell you on Art in Geneva is that you can visit some museums for free the first Sunday of the month.
Another event is the Nuit des Bains (http://www.quartierdesbains.ch/index.php?msg=ok), a kind of open day of art galleries.

Keep me posted ofyour next art events 

Ciao
Xavier

Hi everybody, no need to register for the Giacometti opening.
Exhibitions at the Fondation Baur are always spectacular. Not sure when the opening for the Japanese expo will be though. 

This evening, there is an opening at the Cité du Temps (Swatch Museum) starting at 5:30pm.

Hello Lili,
I just read xyour message... maybe I can help in getting information about Geneva
and the art scene..



There are several contemporary art galleries around rue des bains 
(Plainpalais). 3 times a year all the galleries celebrate their openings the
same night and it is just amazing to see how crowded it is. You might find more
information on this website:

http://www.quartierdesbains.ch/

Also I know
that on 14-15 November these galleries will stay open all day long, on saturday and sunday.


Otherwise, most of the classic and modern art galleries are located in the old city and they also have common openings twice a year: http://www.avv.ch






Other great sources of information about contemporary art exhibitions are:

http://www.geneve-art-contemporain.ch/

or 



http://daté.es/
(but in french only).





Otherwise, try
http://www.ilovegeneva.ch/index.php?lg=2



To be honest, I work for Mamco, the Museum of modern and contemporary
art.  I don't want to look like trying to "sell" my business but
actually we have an opening next Tuesday (27.10 6-9 pm). They are very fun,
with a lot of people (usually around 1’000 visitors) so it might be a good
place to investigate the local art scene :-)   www.mamco.ch / or
Facebook group:
http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#/event.php?eid=161548426414&index=1



I hope you will enjoy the Geneva art galleries and institutions!

 Hi Everybody,

I was yesterday at the Vernissage of the Giacometti exhibition at the Musee Rath.
Very very interesting. I only regret there was no champaing and petit fours...^_^

Hi, I also went to see the Giacometti exhibition yesterday - and will definitely be going back! It was great :-)

Anyone out there interested in going to see Seurat (Zürich) or the latest exhibition in the Paul-Klee-Zentrum in Bern?

:-) Liz

And here a gallery guide to Genevas Art Galleries. They announce a few times a year la nuit des Bains, which is normally a big vernissage of many galleries in the Quartier des Bains (around the Mamco). It takes place on thursdays, 3 or 4 times a year.

http://www.geneve-art-contemporain.ch/programme_frameset.html

This time they announce even a whole weekend on the 14th-15th november. See flyer.
http://www.geneve-art-contemporain.ch/misc/memento_pdf.pdf

This could be quite nice since the normal event on thursdays is always very packed.

 Hi Lili,

If you want to make a group of Art amateur maybe it will better to post a message directly on "Members activities" and ask for RSVP.
