In 2018, the EDIS endowment fund created Ardenome and transformed the former Grenier à Sel into a cultural venue.
Today, L’Ardenome is going back to becoming the Grenier à Sel, but its activity and philosophy remain unchanged: the venue remains the cultural space dedicated to art and to innovation, free of charge and accessible to all thanks to the Edis endowment fund.
EDIS has expressed its intention to support and promote art in this emblematic patrimonial venue in the city of Avignon that remains acessible to every type of audience.
On the program: exhibitions, performances, live events, conferences and discussions, residences, workshops…
The Grenier à Sel is an active participant in the digital Humanities, field of research, education and engineering that brings together IT, the arts, literature and science (fundamental, human and social sciences). Digital humanities are often rooted explicitly in a given movement in favour of disseminating, sharing and promoting knowledge.
Starting on 30 September, all visitors over the age of 12 will be asked to show a valid vaccination certificate.
