Studio and programming space in the South of France
| |
Keeping with the spirit in which the VCCA received the Moulin a Nef, and to further cultural exchange and arts programming, we welcome like-minded arts and cultural organizations to use our arts center for their own workshops. This summer and fall, the VCCA France welcomes the return of the Southwest School of Art and Craft and The Visual Arts Center of Richmond to Moulin a Nef. These organizations offer their own arts workshops which are hosted by the VCCA at our studio center in Auvillar. They are open to the public. For more information, please contact these organizations directly.

The workshop is open to all levels of experience. For more information visit the Southwest School of Art & Craft online or contact Barbara Hill, Director of Public Programs 210-224-1848, ext. 339.
