Coordinated by Carré d’Art – Museum of Contemporary Art, in partnership with the library network of Nîmes and ésban (Nîmes Higher School of Fine Arts), the festival highlights the richness of the independent publishing ecosystem. Artists explore multiple and ever-renewed forms to break free from institutional frameworks and disseminate their works to a wider audience.
After a "test" edition in 2025 with local publishing structures, the Publicare festival this year welcomes publishers from all over France. It aims to be a space for experimentation and a time for sharing, generous and open to all.
The event features meetings, readings, activations, and workshops for all audiences. The 30 participating publishing structures present a selection of artist books, multiples, and screen prints, to be discovered in the vast hall of Carré d’Art.
