North Meets South lll

LE NORD RENCONTRE LE SUD lllla Grange Dîmière9 Rue de Prieuré49070 BeaucouzéFranceTwo years ago, almost to the day, we were in Italy with our first exhibition in the series "North meets South".This time we travel to France, more specifically the Loire Valley. There, right next to Angers, lies the prosperous town of Beaucouzé with our exhibition venue la Grange Dîmière. It was built in 1740 and was used to store taxes that were received from the farmers in the area - the "Tithe Barn". In 1989, the building was purchased by Beaucouzé municipality and used as a library until 2006 when it became a media library. A few years later, architect Bruno Duquoc rebuilt the barn and gave it a modern look, which is perfect for organizing art exhibitions.The Loire Valley is the area around the middle part of the Loire River, which is the longest in France and winds its way through the valley with flowering gardens and grand renaissance castles such as Angers, Amboise, Blois, Chambord and Chenonceaux. Along the scenic river also grow the grapes that give rise to the famous Loire wines.As there is a limited number of places for this exhibition, the selection is ongoing and we will close the exhibition for the application on September 30, 2019.North Meets South l North Meeets South ll
