ECAL/Galerie l'elac

L’elac (l’espace lausannois d’art contemporain)

On June 28, 1997, the opening of l‘elac took place with the first exhibition of ECAL students’ diploma works in the heart of Lausanne – the Flon area. The l’elac came out to fill the lack of proper structures devoted to contemporary creation in this city. In October 2007, the elac moved to Renens/Lausanne into the ECAL’s walls.

With a surface of 550m2, this gallery became one of the largest ones belonging to a school and a prestigious showcase for contemporary art and design in our Canton. It is also an essential research tool to achieve the mandate granted to Art and Design universities.
