The living world inspires us. The Sutton School of Art invites you to follow the evolution of nature on the banks of the Sutton River.

A lively ode to plants and vegetables as sources of inspiration. By letting their shapes, stories, and uses speak for themselves, children and adults alike sharpen their gaze, awaken their curiosity, grow their love for plants, and weave a renewed sensitivity to all living things — in a spirit of creation, sharing, and harmony with nature.

Exhibit of Plants

Squashes, gestures, and roots

29 June to 16 November 2025

CURATED BY
Jasmine Catudal et Richard Dubois

Dans cette exposition, la courge devient plus qu’un aliment: elle est mémoire vivante. In collaboration with Teprine Baldo (Le Noyau), each variety presented here reflects shared knowledge, a specific climate, and dedicated care.

Like in an agricultural museum or a cabinet of curiosities, one can observe here the silent power of these winter squashes. But it's not just about looking. At the entrance, you are invited to dip your hands or feet into the soil. This gesture is not a game - it's a reconnection.

With the soil.
With what lasts.
With what nourishes.

Kitchen garden, flower garden, and dye plant garden

The summer kitchen gardens

JARDINIER.ÈRE.S
Julie Valois and Richard Dubois

With raised beds and garden plots, the summer kitchen’s crescent-shaped gardens are dedicated to vegetables and flowers, thanks to the generosity of community donations and nearby organic farms, including Les Potagers des nues mains and Jardins Glen.

These gardens support a gastronomy inspired by plants, natural art materials, plant-based dyes, observational drawing, exploration of agricultural techniques, and the creation of perfumes and floral arrangements.
