The 2026 Autumn Salon in Sorèze was a great success, attracting 2500 visitors, collectors, and art enthusiasts, and showcasing the works of painters and sculptors, as well as creations by students from the René Bénazech public school.

The Autumn Salon, a key cultural event in Sorèze and the Tarn region, once again featured works by numerous painters and sculptors. The event was made possible by the support of the Municipality of Sorèze, the municipal workshops, the Syndicat Mixte de la Cité de Sorèze, and the public school.
Special thanks were extended to « Sorèze Métiers d’Art », the guest of honor, as well as to the passionate volunteers who facilitated the setup of hundreds of paintings and sculptures. The guest artists, knife painter Jacques Majos and sculptor Daniel Sanchez, contributed to this successful edition.
Artistic demonstrations were part of the salon: Karine Boucon demonstrated pastel techniques on opening day, accompanied by Lucie on violin, with pastel artisan Milena Ostrowsky. This was followed by demonstrations from Jacques Majos for knife painting and François Baticle for modeling.
Students from the René Bénazech public school, from kindergarten to CM2, discovered the exhibited works with wonder, appreciating various forms of artistic expression. Some of their creations were also displayed alongside those of established artists.
To acknowledge their creativity, Gérard Raymond Grandazzi, organizer of the Autumn Salon, presented each young artist with a bag as a reward, valuing their work and encouraging their exploration of the art world. The organizers were thanked for their welcome and generosity.
