If you have some free time and have always wanted to visit an art gallery, a start is the Art Sacr exposition. Just do not expect high quality art. Running from October twenty-third to December eight-teenth at Les Salles de Ges, the exposition features four artists depicting spirituality and inner self.The first artist in the exposition is Hannah Alpha.

The artist mostly limited herself to the colors of red, brown, black and maroon, which only added to the monotony of the collection. Perhaps the only way to understan...
