"1 day, 1 work" allows people to discover, near where they live, one major and original work of modern and contemporary art.
All the works are from the Centre Pompidou's collection, which is one of the largest in the world for 20th- and 21st-century art, and can be displayed in local theatres, events halls, sports centres, etc.
Free talks and workshops for children aged 3 and over and their parents allow audiences to understand the work and the artist presented.

Travelling workshop | 0-2 years
Hexacolore is a space for toddlers created by artist Julie Safirstein on the theme of colour.
A little light creeps into the room and a world of colours and shapes appears. Primary and secondary colours, superimpositions, halos and reflections: Julie Safirstein's device plunges youngsters and their parents into a colourful new world and invites them to explore. Look, but also look at oneself, see through, observe in front and behind, hide, enter, leave… Hexacolore is an immersive installation for young children, an invitation to discover the concepts of shape, colour, space and time.

Travelling workshop | 3-10 years
Create, invent, test, discuss, manufacture… these are the verbs that drive La Fabrique Mobile, a simple device to allow children aged 3-10 to take part in workshops designed by artists.
An electric van in the Centre Pompidou colours and fitted out by Bold Design houses a modular and functional workshop. La Fabrique Mobile aims to meet with children where they live and to create the best possible conditions for them to explore their creativity and discover different modes of artistic production.
