Les Petites Écuries - Arts du feu et du faire · Saint-Donatien
Abderrahmane Cheref turns fossilized gestures into haunting sculpture: clay imprints, burnt wood, and cast metal cradle black mermaid's purses near a ceramic basin primed for hatching. A slow, tactile meditation on abyssal darkness and fragile new life.
Every day from Oct. 6 to Oct. 31
Château des ducs de Bretagne · Nantes
A cemetery made entirely of human hair, and it used to move. Milliat's newly restored 19th-century tableau stars in a Halloween-season show of hair art, with a film recreating its original mechanical motion.
October 18 at 2:30pm (This weekend) +1
Espace Cosmopolis · Decré
Watch Tibetan monk Tenzin Penpa build an intricate mandala grain by grain, then return weeks later to see it swept away. A rare, quietly mesmerizing ritual about impermanence.
October 27 at 8am +5
La Monstrueuse Galerie · Nantes
Start your Tuesday with coffee, pastries, and conversation among Nantes' creative crowd. This monthly morning meetup brings together artists, shopkeepers, and curious locals to swap stories and forge connections while surrounded by the gallery's ever-changing exhibitions.
Every day from Sep. 30 to Oct. 30
Collectif Bonus - Les ateliers d'artistes de la ville de Nantes · Saint-Félix
A Georgian artist lands in Nantes with a suitcase of ideas and leaves with works built from donated materials. Oto Shengelia's residency ends with an open studio where you can see what he made.
May 27 at 6pm +1
Mixt · Nantes • 9-28 €
Part poem, part documentary, Vivantes traces two years in the life of natural winemaker Marie Carroget. It begins with a headphone sound walk at dusk, then wraps you in Super 8 film, monumental embroideries, chants, and music.

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.
You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.
Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
