Contemporary ART festival conceived each year with an artist associated with a neighborhood in Toulouse

Le Nouveau Printemps is teaming up with Rossy de Palma for its 2026 edition in the station district!
Rossy de Palma and her guest artists are putting together a unique exhibition itinerary bringing together multiple artistic practices, in collaboration with partners and residents of the city of Toulouse.
Following Kiddy Smile (2025), Alain Guiraudie (2024), and matali crasset (2023), this edition of Nouveau Printemps will reveal yet another new vision of art, accessible to all, rooted in its territory, demanding, and forward-looking.

Reflecting the artist’s career path, the 2026 edition of Nouveau Printemps will be marked by unexpected encounters, celebrating freedom and creative power.
The Spanish perspective offers the festival an opportunity to engage in cooperation with other organizations and to work on developing this essential binational and European axis.

NEXT edition conceived by Rossy de Palma Toulouse – May 29 to June 28, 2026

“I am delighted to be the ASSOCIATED artist of Nouveau Printemps. I would like to make a true declaration of love to all the men and women of Toulouse, to the artists and artisans…
To capture the spirit of this city, to draw inspiration from its stories, its desires, its voices. And to do all this… with pleasure!” Rossy de Palma, multidisciplinary artist

From the Marengo, Bonnefoy, and Jolimont neighborhoods, with their rural, commercial, and working-class origins, exchanges are celebrated. The city of Toulouse can be experienced, explored, and visited from its train station and surrounding area, a hub for local, regional, and European transportation.
These are also lively, central suburbs with a rich history and undergoing rapid urban change linked to the transformation of the  neighborhood, with all the challenges that this entails: construction sites, expectations, controversies.

Le Nouveau Printemps is delighted to engage with the popular, cultural, and scientific history of the neighborhood, which boasts a rich ecosystem including the train station, a large media library, a cultural center (a former national stud farm), an art center, artists’ and architects’ studios, an observatory, as well as a social and solidarity economy hub and a future cinema.
Le Nouveau Printemps thus continues to support responsible artistic creations that engage with all audiences, are open to the world, and are attentive to our environments. the Marengo/Bonnefoy/Jolimont neighborhood
Throughout the festival, exhibitions are open to all audiences and a wide range of tailor-made tours are available.
The opening weekend is also, once again, an opportunity to bring audiences and artists together for meetings, dance performances, music, and film screenings.
