WHAT IS lille3000?

From Lille 2004 European Capital of Culture to lille3000

In 2004, Lille (France) was European Capital of Culture. For a whole year, we brought together modernity, youthfulness and creativity through artistic creation and economical dynamism. Lille 2004 left its stamp on the whole region : 17 000 artists, 2 500 festivals, 9 million people took part in the various events. Continuing the Lille 2004 model, lille3000 is making this energy last and has been presenting since 2006 visions of the future with a teeming programme of exhibitions, performing arts, urban metamorphoses and festive parades for a broad audience: in 2006, Bombay Maximum City captured the explosive energy of the Indian megalopolis, in 2007, with the exhibition Passage du temps, the collector and businessman François Pinault revealed more than 100 works of arts from his collection. And in 2009, lille3000 will focuss on the new boundaries of Europe with Europe XXL.
