Art Centre
Located at the foot of the Vosges mountains in the village of Wattwiller in Alsace, the Fondation François Schneider art center offers 3 to 4 exhibitions a year and a cultural program devoted to the theme of water.
The Foundation encourages creativity and pursues a dual commitment to education and culture through various initiatives:
→ The organization of exhibitions in the art center & outside its walls
→ An international competition Talents Contemporains
→ Acquisition of works for its collection
→ Grants for higher education
→ A residency program for young artists

Today, the competition’s works form a unique collection, questioning this vital element, the source of humanity, in plastic, poetic, aesthetic, geographical, political and scientific terms.
