Firstly, ‘ La Provence, terre de rencontres entre artistes et écrivains ‘ at the Regards de Provence gallery has been extended to 16th March 2014; and at the same gallery, ‘Femmes en Provence et en Méditerranée’ will run to the 4th May. 
Here is my original review of both exhibitions when I visited back in October: https://aixcentric.com/2013/10/31/painting-provence/ It’s a beautiful space and both exhibitions are well worth visiting. Recommended!
Opening next Friday, 21st February, ‘Visages, Picasso, Magritte, Warhol’ brings 150 works by 80 artists – paintings, photos, sculptures – to La Vieille Charité in the historic Panier district. The title says it all – the theme is the representation of the human face from the early 20th century onwards. Sounds interesting.
In conjunction with this, the Musée d’Archéologie in the same building will be showing a collection of 40 antique faces, many of which provided inspiration for modern artists.
‘Visages’ is running from 21st Feb-22nd June, open Tues-Sunday, 10-18:00. Closed Mondays and 1st May. 10€. This place is quite popular so it may be worth buying a ticket from Fnac or online at ticketnet.fr. Nice café in the courtyard if it ever stops raining!
Also starting on 21st Feb is an expo dedicated to the arts and crafts of Vietnam. It’s being held at the Maison de l’Artisanat at 21 Cours d’Estienne d’Ores, open Tues-Fr 10-12, 13-18, Sat 13-18:00hrs. Free. Click here for the beautiful poster with more details: affichevietnam3
