Cité Bleue is a cultural venue located in the Servette district of Geneva. Originally constructed as a pumping station for water in the late 19th century, it was repurposed in the 1980s to become a space dedicated to artistic expression. The building’s industrial architecture remains a prominent feature of the venue's aesthetic. It hosts a diverse program encompassing music performances – ranging from world music to experimental electronic – as well as theatre, dance, and visual arts exhibitions. Cité Bleue is recognized as an important hub for independent and alternative culture within Geneva, supporting both established and emerging artists. It operates under the auspices of the City of Geneva’s cultural department.
