By becoming European Capital of Culture in 2004 ( Lille 2004 ), Lille and its region have profoundly changed the image of the city and of an entire territory. From this exceptional year, we are left with strong images such as the Opening Party and its 750,000 visitors, the Parallel Worlds or the countless metamorphoses, but also lasting traces that are our Folie houses.
With tremendous creative energy and extraordinary popular enthusiasm, we wanted to continue this adventure through lille3000 to further explore the cultures and issues of our world, while projecting ourselves towards contemporary creation, innovation and future.
From 2006, with Bombaysers de Lille until 2019, with Eldorado , the major thematic editions brought together thousands of visitors and presented hundreds of works, artists... lille3000 also knew how to seize the opportunity to present in Lille major contemporary art exhibitions in an exceptional place: the Tripostal .
