Passages, a contemporary art center, is a space dedicated to the production, dissemination, and experimentation of national and international contemporary creation. Present in the Aubois territory for more than 40 years, its objective is to raise awareness of contemporary art and advocate for access to culture for everyone.The art center organizes 3 to 4 solo or group exhibitions per year, as well as research projects, including residencies and publications.
Passages welcomes audiences by offering mediations, various artistic activities tailored to each individual, and a significant cultural program. Various events accompany each exhibition, such as artist talks, workshops for children, evening openings, and friendly gatherings ("discovery Saturdays"). Furthermore, recognizing the importance of professional support for artists, the center organizes open dates for artists who wish to discuss their work with the team.

The center also has three permanent artworks created by Dominique Blais, Manon Harrois, and Merhyl Levisse.
These artworks allow the former 18th-century master's house to be integrated into the present.
