Since 1986, the CAP Contemporary art center in Saint-Fons (Lyon-France) has a twofold mission of encouraging public interest in contemporary art and supporting artistic creation. Saint-Fons is a city with a rich industrial history and a current geographical, social and economical complexity.
Emerging and established artists from the international as well as from the French art scene are invited for solo or group exhibitions and to develop their projects thanks to our residency program.
A rich educational program and mediation is an important part of the CAP’s philosophy.

CAP contemporary art center is a public art venue supported by the City of Saint-Fons. Its activities are supported and funded by the City of Saint-Fons, Région Auvergne-Rhône Alpes and the Ministère de la Culture – DRAC Rhone-Alpes.
