The City of Cusset has launched a call for projects for a temporary art exhibition to be held in 2027 within the Tour Prisonnière, a historic 15th-century monument.

As part of its cultural and heritage policy, the municipality of Cusset invites artists to submit proposals for a temporary exhibition. The goal is to transform the Tour Prisonnière, a 15th-century heritage landmark, into a dynamic space for contemporary creation.
For the summer season of 2027, the community is seeking a unique artistic project. This project should resonate with the tower's defensive architecture and its history as a former prison. The ambition is to transform this site, often perceived as static, into a lively cultural venue for five months.
The proposed exhibition will not be merely a presentation of artworks but aims to offer an immersive, dynamic, and evolving experience designed to attract a broad audience. The Tour Prisonnière will thus become a space for discovery, encounter, and engagement, where heritage, artistic creation, and cultural mediation will complement each other to provide an attractive program throughout the season.
