Picture above - the Bol D' Or - Art by Rita Mancesti, see more about this artist below. Cinema The film showing tonight (20 August) at the Open Air cinema in Nyon is the classic (and digitally restored) film comedy "Some Like It Hot" directed by Billy Wilder starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon. A most appropriately titled film for the current weather that we are experiencing right now! The film begins at 21:00, there is a bar and small café on site for pre-dinner snacks and drinks.

Wine Tour in English in September
Interested in finding out more about local Swiss wine? Then you might like to go on this wine tour on the 1st September which will take place in and around the vineyards above Morges. See flyer below for details.
Even though summer is still with us, many of the local arts and music venues have now released their new Autumn/Winter programmes. The Usine a Gaz is Nyon's own permanent arts and music venue and their programme (which is scheduled right up until May next year) can be found here.
Music
La Parenthèse, the small underground bar in Nyon's old town, has also released its programme of music for September. Bands from Australia, Canada and Switzerland are on the line up, see their site here and a previous article on this music venue.
Art
There are two local artists who have ongoing projects at the moment. Firstly, Rita Mancesti who runs her own gallery in Coppet (and has previously been featured on this site), currently has an exhibition in the Clinique Genolier gallery called "Du coté de la Lumière" .
The Clinique regularly features art exhibitions in its gallery space and is open to the public from approx 07:30 to around 19:00 each day. This exhibition is due to end on the 1st September and you can see and hear more about it in this video below from Nyon Regional TV (from approx 09.21 minutes onwards).
Stephanie Fonteyn, another local artist who has also been featured on this site, has recently launched a new art project called The 100 Faces Project in which she will paint 100 portraits in 360 days.
Image above - Crystel - One of the faces in the "100 Faces project". When she has finished painting the 100 faces, they will be exhibited as a collective giant portrait mosaic measuring 4m x 4m. If you would like to find out more about this project (or your face be part of it!) see the website here for more details.
