In the historic heart of Tours, in its contemporary architecture designed by the Portuguese agency Aires Mateus, the Olivier Debré Center for Contemporary Creation offers itself to the public as an open place, a space for discoveries, sharing knowledge and experiences. . Center of contemporary art, it is also a place of multidisciplinary cultures which dialogues with all the actors of the territory to explore new grounds.
The cccod is now the custodian of a donation of works by the painter Olivier Debré who lived in Touraine from an early age. The reception of a historical collection within a contemporary art center is a fruitful singularity, which makes it possible to establish bridges between the creation of yesterday and today.
Throughout the year, the Public Service invents a panoply of activities for children and adults alike, customizing their proposals to suit individuals and different groups. The exhibitions are accompanied by a rich and curious cultural program: conferences, meetings, performances or screenings, so many forms that can awaken the senses and broaden knowledge.
With a demanding program of exhibitions, the cccod is increasingly rooted in its territory while exploring international creation. Pioneer and curious, never indifferent to current issues, he looks to the future with artists who constantly question our world differently.
