Hangar Closes doors until further notice

Dear Members, relations and friends of the Hangar ,

As you might have noticed, the French Authorities are ordering to close many institutions in the country and also urge the population to avoid groups and minimize social contacts. Given the postion of the government and the danger of further contamination in the country, the board of the Hangar has considered the situation. The board has the opinion that there is unfortunately no other option then temporarily suspend activities at the Hangar building.The building will be closed as of Sunday March 15. It is with much regret that this decision had to be taken.
The board will very closely monitor further advice from the authorities about the prolongation of this extraordinary situation.
We will inform you as soon as possible when the Hangar can start up its activities again.

With much regret and with kind regards ,

The board of the Hangar

Chers Membres, amis et connaissances du Hangar,

Comme vous l'avez remarqué les autorités françaises ont décidé la fermeture de nombreuses institutions dans le pays et ont aussi exhorté la population à  éviter les réunions et à limiter les contacts. Compte-tenu de la position du gouvernement et le risque du développement de la contamination en France, le conseil d'administration a réfléchi à la situation.
Le conseil a estimé que malheureusement il n'y a pas d'autre choix que de suspendre temporairement les activités dans le bâtiment du Hangar. Celui-ci sera fermé à compter du dimanche 15 mars. C'est avec regret que cette décision a due être prise.
Le conseil d'administration suivra avec attention les recommandations des autorités concernant la prolongation de cette situation exceptionnelle.
Nous vous informerons dès que possible quand Le Hangar pourra recommencer ses activités.

Avec nos regrets et nos sincères amitiés,

Le conseil d'administration du Hangar.

Corona & Hangar

We are very sorry but in order not to give the corona virus a chance in the Hangar, we would like to ask everyone who has a cold; or has been in contaminated areas, not to come to the Hangar for a while. When in doubt – don’t come. Thanks in advance!

Nous sommes désolés mais pour ne pas laisser une chance au coronavirus dans le Hangar, nous voudrions demander à tous ceux qui toussent, ont un rhume ou sont été dans des zones contaminées - de cesser de venir au Hangar pour l'instant . En cas de doute - ne venez pas. Merci d'avance!

Café Culture about Aboriginee Art, on Wednesday 4 March 7.30 pm

Contemporary Aboriginal Art from Australia

For the next Café Culture on Wednesday 4 March, we have invited a speaker:  Céline Emery-Demion

Céline is an French-Australian gallerist. She invites you to discover a fascinating art movement, inspired by multi-millennial Aboriginal myths and beliefs based on the ‘Dreamtime’: the time of Creation when the Great Ancestors left their spiritual and physical prints over the vast Australian land.

Céline regularly travels to the Australian central desert to meet the artists and she brings back their artworks in order to promote the pictorial and cultural richness of Australian Indigenous culture in France.

In her one-hour inspiring presentation, she will share the energy of the paintings and stories of the Aboriginal desert communities, which, despite past persecutions, remain strong and fight constantly to gain their rightful place in Australian society today.“

As usual the Café Culture will be followed by a glass of wine and nibbles with your Hangar-friends!

To help plan the evening, please confirm your participation before February 20th to patrick.scetbon@wanadoo.fr

Entry €5 pp, non-members welcome!

NEW YEAR's Reception 2020

On Sunday 19 January, 17h The Hangar Board and teachers welcomed all members for drinks and nibbles. A lot of people attended and as always it was very very convivial! Yours truly only had time to take pictures at the start - there were just too many cheeks to kiss and good wishes to be exchanged, not to forget excellent champagne to be sipped! But if you missed it, here are some pictures that still will give you a feel for the atmosphere!
