To promote and develop living art in all its forms in the Saurat valley and the Ariège region.
The association L'Ancienne Pharmacie, based in Saurat, is named after a place well known to village elders.
Its vocation is to host live performances (music, theater, etc.) and contemporary visual arts, and to share them with as wide an audience as possible. Conviviality, etymologically "living with", drives the project.
We try to create contact between the works and the spectators through meetings with the artists, discussions and debates. We can also offer artists creative residencies.
We believe that contemporary art speaks to our world in different ways, with different languages and forms, and therefore concerns us all.
It's up to us to find the works that have a reason to be in our mountains, and to share and discover them.
The association has a venue in the center of the village of Saurat, which can host small-scale theatrical or musical performances, and exhibitions. It also organizes events in public spaces, community halls and the church.
