ARTY SHOW – La Chaux-de-Fonds
The checkerboard as the artists’ playground !
The artists are taking over the shop windows in the city centre… to brighten up the end of the year! La Chaux‑de‑Fonds, a city listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is famous for its grid‑pattern urban design, its unique perspectives, and its impressive linear metres of shopfronts.
At the heart of this urban landscape unfolds Avenue Léopold‑Robert — the true backbone of the city. During the flourishing era of the watchmaking industry, it was the place for window‑shopping.
It is within this heritage that Arty Show takes shape today. The shops become partners in an exhibition spread throughout the public space.
Freely accessible, day and night, the route invites residents and visitors to slow down… to look up… and to rediscover the city and art from a new angle.
