Lilette et Gilbert Valentin Art Exhibit
Wednesday October 7, 2026 10:30am-11:30am
Espace Culturel Lympia , 2 Quai Entrecasteaux, 06300, Nice
This is the first major retrospective exhibition of Lilette (1925-2006) and Gilbert Valentin (1928-2000). Including studio pottery, sculpture, painting and drawing, the exhibition showcases the expansive nature of the Valentins’ artistic practice and includes artworks, film and documentary photography. In 1950, The Valentins moved to Vallauris and made their home, studio and gallery in an old factory that they baptized “Les Archanges ”. Their 5 children grew up at Les Archanges, which became a creative hub for poets, artists and musicians including Jean Cocteau, Pablo Picasso and Jacques Prévert. Aurelie will introduce us to the exhibition, her parents' practice and their legacy. This event does not include lunch, but there are a number of restaurants at the port that members can contact for a reservation or chance a walk-in on the day.
Parking nearby is limited, carpooling is highly encouraged. The gallery is fully accessible with lifts and handicap toilets.

A Humanitarian Voyage to Ukraine Lorna tells us her story
Tuesday November 10, 2026 10:30am-2:30pm
Hotel Ambassadeurs, 50-52 Chemin des Sables, 06160 Juan Les Pins
Lorna Hawthorne, a school friend of mine, tells you about this humanitarian voyage and the dangers. The Speaker event is followed by lunch in the Hotel.
Lorna's own words: "Why would I be driving an ambulance - to take to Ukraine of course! A big birthday made me wonder how to celebrate, and what better way? Having Ukrainian friends and colleagues has made this war more personal so I decided to do something practical to help".
Medical Life Lines Ukraine buy ambulances that are equipped and still functional but have been financially written off in the UK. We overhaul them and ensure they are in good working order. Filled with medical equipment and supplies, they are driven across the Poland-Ukraine border by volunteers.
Lunch is a set Menu: 2 Courses, Entree + Plat + Coffee Gourmande.
Ticket €40 for IWCR members
