For the second consecutive year, the Crac Occitanie and Mécènes du Sud Montpellier-Sète-Béziers are teaming up for an energetic and intensive hybrid event through several projects: exhibitions, workshops, screenings, concerts, performances…

Canal Royal was born in the wake of the first lockdown in 2020, and its purpose is to assist artists by supporting new productions or the circulation of a recent work.
Canal Royal promotes the art scene in the Occitanie region: all of the invited artists have a strong link to this territory, either as a home or as a direct inspiration for their work.

The title of this summer program refers to the city of Sète’s main canal, which runs alongside the Crac Occitanie.

With the financial support of the Drac Occitanie in the framework of the Plan de relance pour la Culture.

Mécènes du Sud Montpellier-Sète-Béziers is an association that was born as a spin-off of the organisation of the same name in the Aix-Marseille area. It is a collective of companies supporting art and financing various works, events and collaborations in the field of contemporary art.Mécènes du Sud Montpellier-Sète-Béziers benefits from a dedicated site for its activities, located right in the Montpellier city centre, where a yearly programme of exhibitions is conceived and offered to the public.
