Artroute - information and advice for visual artists and craftspeople considering living and working in France. Provided by Artquest.

Artroute is an initiative of Artquest and the British Council, France. It has been designed specifically for UK based visual artists and craftspeople who would like to work in France, but are unsure of how to begin or how to find work. It aims to equip UK based practitioners in the basic elements of creative practice - giving a basic knowledge of the French art scene, venues, legal issues, studios, residencies, possible work opportunities, funding and further links to information and advice services already present in France. As with the main Artquest website, Artroute will be constantly updated with new information.
