Vernissage “La source de Prébarreau”
The Inside Out Project, created by French street artist JR, is the largest global participatory art project.
Join EMOH LEEF as we are bringing this global movement to Neuchâtel with a striking temporary installation of over 50 large-scale black-and-white portraits, showcasing the faces of people living, working, and passing through the Prébarreau district. Displayed on a prominent wall directly across from the Atelier, this project will create a powerful cultural moment, connecting our local community to a worldwide artistic expression.

The Atelier
EMOH LEEF’s Atelier is a former glassblowing and painting workshop at the ground floor of an apartment building. The Prébarreau district of Neuchâtel is a vibrant, mixed-use area that brings together manufacturers, coffee roasters, workshops, public offices, and creative spaces such as artists’ and dance studios. While traces of its industrial past, like the old mill building, remain, the district has evolved into a hub of creative energy driven by its people. Today, it serves also as a pedestrian shortcut, where the community shapes the area’s artistic and cultural landscape. The area offers unexpected views of the collegial and other landmarks, and is just minutes away from the city center, lake, and main train station.
