The canton of Jura has the pleasure to participate in two editions of the European Days of art professions in 2015 and 2016. These days were the opportunity for the general public to discover the present craftsmen on the cantonal territory, and allow to exchange on unique know-how, between the art, some economy and the cultural heritage.
To sensibilise the general public and especially the young people in art professions, the canton of Jura can also lean on the work of the La Fondation Horlohère based in Porrentruy. For 12 years now, it organizes during odd years a trade fair of the art professions of the watch-making and the jewelry in which approximately 1'400 visitors came in four days. The next edition will take place in Porrentruy from 2 to 5 November 2017.
An alternation between the JEMA and the Salon des Métiers seems completely convenient. Therefore, the canton of Jura prefers to opt from now on for a participation in the JEMA every two years, with a next edition in 2018. The complementarity of the actions will allow the art professions of our region and its craftsmen to benefit from an additional visibility.
