Saint-Michel Oasis
The Saint-Michel Oasis is a space that, during the summer, becomes a place for creativity, self-expression, and relaxation for young people aged 15 to 25 in the neighborhood. Music, street dance, circus arts, DJ sets, and visual arts: with the guidance of professional artists, young people create and present their own amateur performances and community-focused events to the neighborhood. It’s a place to create, perform, and come together.
programming
Every Friday and Saturday, enjoy a free BBQ on the triangular field (limited quantities available on a first-come, first-served basis) with picnic tables where you can relax. Available to everyone at all times: an outdoor gym, music, and a creative space with art supplies for painting and drawing. A variety of other artistic activities will be added to the program—sign up below to participate!
