Located in the legendary city of Pont-Aven, a cradle of inspiration for Gauguin and the painters of the School of the same name, this former American art school, founded by art historian Caroline Boyle-Turner, has long vibrated to the rhythm of contemporary creation. In partnership with the CIAC (Centre International d’Art Contemporain de Pont-Aven), this venue has been a space for experimentation and exhibition for many years, sponsoring a wide range of contemporary art exhibitions. Many artists, from young talents to established figures, have found fertile ground for their creations here, actively participating in the local cultural life.

Its cultural aura is palpable in every corner of this characterful building. The building spans over 1,273 sqm, spread over two levels, with a beautiful stone façade punctuated by bay windows and industrial doors. The interior unfolds like a labyrinth of possibilities, composed of multiple rooms, partitioned workshops, a large entrance hall and large exhibition spaces bathed in light. The architecture combines raw materials, stone walls, metal structures, high ceilings with exposed beams and modern glazing, in an aesthetic of artistic industrial wasteland, conducive to the imagination.

This place steeped in history awaits a new impetus. It could be transformed into a cultural third place, an artist residence, an exhibition center, lofts or atypical housing after rehabilitation, or even into educational or entrepreneurial spaces. The site is equally suited to a hotel, restaurant, guest reception project… a virgin space where the imagination becomes material… Let your imagination run wild.

Located 700 m from the center of Pont-Aven, 15 minutes from the sea and 30 minutes from Quimper.
