La Criée, Contemporary art center in downtown Rennes, France.
La Criée is an art center housed in a historic market building with large windows and high ceilings in downtown Rennes. The space contains exhibition areas for contemporary work and hosts a range of artistic events and performances.
The center opened in 1986 in a 1923 building that was originally the city's fish market. This transformation of a market hall into an art space reflects how the neighborhood changed over time.
The center presents work by French and international artists who engage with local audiences through exhibitions and events. People come here to discover what contemporary artists are creating and thinking about today.
The center is open Tuesday through Friday from midday to 7 PM and on weekends from 2 PM to 7 PM. It sits in the middle of town and is easy to reach, making it convenient to stop by while exploring the neighborhood.
The building was designed in the early 20th century and keeps its original market character through broad windows and open layout. This spatial quality makes each exhibition feel like a fresh experience in the same place.
