In only seven months, <strong>the Taverne Gutenberg has become one of the strongest art symboles of Lyon (France).</strong> This three-story high building used to house several apartments and a bar.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p dir="ltr">
Slowly deserted by its inhabitants, <strong>the Taverne finally came back to life in autumn 2015</strong>, through the initiative of interactive designer Maïa d'Aboville, and painter Henri Lamy. Together with cultural project coordinator Melina Nieto, <strong>they occupied this unique space and turned it into a creative hub</strong> in only three months. </p>
<p dir="ltr">
</p>
<p dir="ltr">
Its history-filled walls and bedrooms are an <strong>endless source of inspiration for art-lovers of all kinds</strong>.</p>

This supposedly ephemeral art residence was to close in December 2015. But it encountered such a huge success (inviting over 60 invited and welcoming thousands of visitors), that <strong>the team decided to continue the adventure</strong>. </p>
<p dir="ltr">
</p>
<p dir="ltr">
February 2016 marks the beginning of a new era for the Taverne thanks to its acclaimed group exhibit "Hybrid". <strong>The building now houses artists in residence, a coworking art space and an exhibit space</strong>. The Taverne Gutenberg offers <strong>an eclectic and unique program</strong>.</p>

The Taverne can also count on <strong>a strong team of volunteers</strong> to insure that each events are well organized and in a warm atmosphere. </p>
<p dir="ltr">
</p>
<p dir="ltr">
Several professional volunteers have also offered to give the team a helpful hand : Mr. Christian Compigne (architect), Mr. Durand from Fidextra, Mrs. Émilie Zieleskiewicz and Mr. Alexandre Naz (lawyers).</p>
<p>
</p>
<p dir="ltr">
The Taverne's partners also play a part in the association's everyday life :</p>

Helping the Taverne Gutenberg association, means <strong>actively participating to the development of a new cultural initiative in Lyon</strong>. It aims to :</p>
<p dir="ltr">
</p>
<p dir="ltr">
<strong>Make art accessible to all </strong>– creating an alternative option to traditional art galleries and build unique ties between the public and the artists.</p>
<p dir="ltr">
</p>
<p dir="ltr">
<strong>Create a hybrid platform dedicated to artists </strong>– host local, national and international artists by forging partnership programs with other art residences around the world. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Initiate a new socio-cultural approach to a various audience </strong>– closely work with associations from the same neighbourhood (Guillotière).</p>

<strong>1. AN ART RESIDENCE</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">
</p>
<p dir="ltr">
The Taverne Gutenberg offers up to <strong>10 private art studios</strong> (measuring between 7 to 17,5 sq. meters each), for a period of three months. <strong>It is more than just a rented space: we insure the promotion of the artists</strong> and the creation of a solo show to present their work.</p>
<p dir="ltr">
</p>
<p dir="ltr">
</p>
<p dir="ltr">
<strong>2. GROUP EXHIBITS</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">
</p>
<p dir="ltr">
At the end of each residency, the Taverne Gutenberg houses a massive group show with all the artists that are part of the program. <strong>Each rooms, walls, and staircases are transformed and filled with art</strong>. This trimestrial event is also opened to non-resident artists and is considered as one of the highlights of our program. </p>

In January 2016, the Taverne Gutenberg signed a leasing contract with Abita (the new owner of the building and first patron of the association). <strong>This rent is the first obstacle</strong> for the team, but they have to face another bigger challenge.</p>
<p dir="ltr">
</p>
<p dir="ltr">
Since April, the City of Lyon can no longer provide the necessary letter of authorization for the Taverne to accept visitors inside the perimeter. Because of the poor shape of the building, it would no longer be suitable to host any further events. Therefore, the Taverne <strong>must implement rehabilitation works</strong>, for the safety of its artists and visitors.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p dir="ltr">
</p>
<p dir="ltr">
<img alt="Slideshow_travaux-1462109755" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/310584/slideshow_travaux-1462109755.gif"></p>
<p dir="ltr">
</p>
<p dir="ltr">
Thus, the Taverne Gutenberg has proceeded to having the rehabilitation works done, and <strong>must now raise 20,000 €</strong> <u>before end of June 2016.</u></p>
<p>
</p>
<p dir="ltr">
<strong>The crowdfunding campaign will be able to finance : </strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">
</p>
<p dir="ltr">
- Our priority: a new <strong>electric system</strong>, which represents the majority of the rehabilitation works</p>
<p dir="ltr">
- New <strong>pipeworks</strong> for the bar</p>
<p dir="ltr">
- New <strong>lightings and plugs</strong> for each rooms</p>
<p dir="ltr">
- A <strong>heating system</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">
- Four <strong>fire extinguishers</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">
- <strong>Safety blocks</strong></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong>The rehabilitation works have already started</strong> to insure that the upcoming events and exhibitions may be happening as planned. The workers have accepted to be paid later in June, which is a great help for the association.</p>

If we do end up raising more funds than planned, here is what we would love to do...</p>
