A gathering around art therapy
Think back to a moment when you felt truly inspired. A space where creativity finally had room to breathe. A suspended instant where you could rediscover the joy of creating, experimenting, and sharing with others.
This longing gave birth to the Evolène Creative Festival – a project driven by art therapy enthusiasts united under L’Atelier. With passion and sensitivity, a team of volunteers, facilitators, and professionals is crafting a space that is human, accessible, and deeply alive.
Nestled in the Swiss Alps, the festival offers an intimate, immersive experience. With limited spots, it ensures meaningful connections, attentive listening, and closeness among participants.
Don’t wait – book your place and join this creative adventure.

A warm and supportive setting
This project stands out for its unique setting in the heart of nature, offering a break from daily life and a chance to reconnect with yourself. With limited spots available, it fosters closeness and attentive listening, creating the perfect space for sharing and meaningful encounters. Driven by a strong sense of community, the festival aims to provide a co-created environment where everyone can unleash their creativity and explore their sensitivity.
100% self-funded initiative
The CHF 1,200 goal covers the festival’s core needs: venue rental, workshop materials, and production costs – the bare minimum to get this project off the ground.
At its heart, this festival thrives on the dedication of volunteers – professionals, facilitators, and animators who generously share their time, expertise, and passion to bring this collective adventure to life.
Our stretch goal? A chance to give back, even in small ways, by covering expenses or offering modest compensation to those who’ve poured so much into making this festival possible.
Behind this project stands a community driven by L’Atelier Association and everyone who believes in creativity, human connection, and personal growth as spaces for encounter and transformation.
We’re counting on you to keep this journey alive.
