The Research Center for the Arts of Fire and EarthIt was in Limoges, in 1993, that the CRAFT was created, a veritable “laboratory of ideas”, with the principal mission of conceding the use of ceramics a singular place in contemporary art. ✨
A workshop for research and contemporary creation, the “Centre de recherche sur les arts du feu et de la terre”, invites creators from all over the world (designers, artists, architects etc) with varied practices to reinvent and develop projects around the ceramic material. 🔥
The association organizes and participates in exhibitions and conferences, artist meetings and guided tours of its studio to promote its actions, contemporary ceramic creation and resident artists.

Musée d'art contemporain de la Haute-Vienne, RochechouartOver a period of thirty years, the Musée d’art contemporain de la Haute-Vienne has built up a first-rate collection now boasting over 1,300 works. 👀
As soon as the museum opened in 1985, ensembles were organized around the major historical movements born in the late 1960s, particularly those that explored the links between nature and culture, or Land Art. Similarly, representative groups have been formed around English sculpture and the continuities and discontinuities of painting.
Major figures in twentieth- and twenty-first-century art have also served as the nuclei of a collection attentive to the most current creation right up to the present day. ✨
In the heart of the Petite Cité de Caractère of Eymoutiers
Espace Paul RebeyrolleDesigned by architect Olivier Chaslin, the Espace Paul Rebeyrolle was inaugurated in 1995. A unique, spacious and luminous venue, this art center houses a permanent collection of over 80 works from 1948 to 2005, among the most significant of Rebeyrolle’s work. ✨
The collection has been enriched over time, and presents paintings and sculptures in impressive formats all year round, as the exhibitions rotate, expressing all the senses and all the generosity of the materials.
Exhibitions, workshops, concerts and other events are offered throughout the year. 🎶
