The fonds régional d’art contemporain des Pays de la Loire - A new building - Collection- Ateliers - Mediation

These Ateliers are a unique experiment in France, specific to the Frac des Pays de la Loire. A space for research, for friendly and fruitful exchange, the Ateliers alow the invited artists to work and to meet with other figures of their professional world: curators, critics, dealers, as well as the art students that work as their assistants. The works produced are exhibited as the outcome of the experience, some are bought by the Frac. The permanent accomodation and studio space that has been created at Carquefou now allows, at other times of the year, more established artists to be invited in view of commissioned projects. The Frac can thus fully realise its role as a production partner.
