Keep busy with the Lay up exhibition, concerts and events
A gigantic urban art exhibition has arrived in the Ville Rose. Until July 13, 2025, a huge building in downtown Toulouse will be occupied by local and international artists. Street art, jazz concerts, bars and foodtrucks– this is what awaits you at the “Lay up” ephemeral exhibition! Shows, concerts, live performances… Above all, Lay up is a place for sharing and meeting contemporary urban art.
