Geneva, Switzerland – Three times a year art and beautiful people mix in Geneva during the Nuit des Bains.

Thirteen galleries and four contemporary arts centres in the heart of Geneva’s quartier de bains open their doors simultaneously and host parties for all visitors (not just for prospective buyers).

The Quartier des Bains Association organizes the tri-annual Nuits des Bains on the third Thursday of March, May and September.

Art lovers, students, serious collectors and neighbors can enjoy a free glass of wine at several galleries along the crawl, which begins at 18:00. (The crawl unofficially ends in the pubs of the neighborhood way past midnight.)

Once a year the Nuit des Bains coincides with the Showroom Edelweiss and the quartier becomes one constant flow of fashion, music and art.

The Mamco and the Centre d’art usually host parties with electronic music and DJs throughout the night tinting the eve with a bit of a rebel flair.

If it is your first time attending I would suggest downloading the programme which can help you find your way around the exhibits and performances at hand.

The first Nuit des Bains of 2011 takes place on 17 March.

See you at the galleries!
