Biennale internationale du lin de Portneuf

The Biennale internationale du lin de Portneuf is a cultural event showcasing modern practices related to linen and flax, covering both technical and conceptual aspects. The subject of flax and linen is addressed through themes as varied as contemporary visual arts, crafts and fashion. The event takes place in various cultural centres across the Portneuf region on odd-numbered years. The project of integrating contemporary art into heritage buildings and sites is just as daring, but so relevant. While places like these are laden with importance, both historically and visually, and despite the constraints imposed by their nature, creators find in them challenges that stimulate their imaginations and nourrish their research. Several locations: Caserne du lin in Saint-Léonard, Vieux Presbytère and Moulin de la Chevrotière in Deschambault-Grondines and Moulin Marcoux in Pont-Rouge.
