A Room full of Yellow

The French city of Valenciennes is located on the banks of the Scheldt river near the border between France and Belgium. It belongs to the region of Hauts-de-France (Upper France).

Yesterday, the opening of the exhibition C’est beau le jaune (Yellow is beautiful) took place in the central La Maison Des Associations. It was preceded by a call for mail art from the cultural association Le cahier allant vers, which resulted in a large international participation.
