La Fabrique Pola, Contemporary art museum in Bordeaux, France
La Fabrique Pola is a multi-story museum housing artist studios, exhibition spaces, production facilities, and educational areas along the Garonne River in eastern Bordeaux. The building integrates artistic creation and public engagement within its structure.
This institution was founded in 2002 from a collective initiative by local artists seeking to establish a permanent space for artistic creation. That founding vision continues to shape its mission and direction today.
This space functions as a collaborative hub where artists and cultural organizations work together on projects while applying social economy principles in practice. Visitors can observe how this approach shapes the daily work and interactions happening within the building.
The building is located along Quai de Brazza and operates on weekdays during daytime hours, with extended access during special events and programming. Visitors should allow time to explore the different zones at their own pace.
Artists here can both create and display their work in the same spaces, blurring the line between studio and exhibition area. This direct connection between production and presentation is uncommon and shapes the visitor experience.
