The association’s objective

The Auvers-sur-Oise Festival is placed under the 1st July 1901 law.

The association’s goal is to manage the Auvers-sur-Oise Festival, to promote arts by creating artistic manifestations, to promote and highlight the Notre-Dame Church of Auvers-sur-Oise and its heritage and to contribute to the development of cultural and artistic projects around the Bernard Hurvy organ.

In fact, the Festival has reached in 2006 its first objective: the construction of a post-classic aesthetic organ of 30 pipes in the Notre-Dame Church of Auvers-sur-Oise. This organ leads then to other ambitious projects for young people like the workshop “The Organ For Children”, the creation of artwork edition ordered to contemporary composers and the project to fund a manecantry.
