Sérignan is a town fully committed to the visual arts (BD Sérignan, RMCA, artists' residence, etc.). It is therefore quite naturally that street art has found its squares and streets in the town where urban art abounds. New frescoes are added to the existing ones, thus continuing an artistic circuit in the heart of the city. Artists are encouraged to express themselves on their works, their meanings, their techniques. Everything is accompanied by festive moments conducive to meetings, exchanges and sharing.
