European Artistic Crafts Days

The European Days of Crafts (JEMA) return to Geneva, organized by the Métiers d’Art Genève association. This annual event highlights local artisans through three distinct experiences: at the Pavillon Sicli, where there will be booths, demonstrations, and introductory workshops; the opening of various artisans’ studios for visitors to discover their creations; and a cultural journey offering tours and activities in different Geneva institutions. The event aims to promote craftsmanship, inspire new vocations, and preserve this unique heritage. Activity registrations will open early March on the association’s website.
