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.

The information on this site has been compiled from a variety of sources. However, much of the information was found on the French Ministry of Culture website at www.cnap.fr, and was compiled by Amanda Crabtree and her staff at artconnexion, Lille (www.artconnexion.org).

Artroute is a pilot project funded by the British Council and is the first of a number of country-specific guides for visual artists and craftspeople. Artroute is updated by Artquest. For further information, please contact Artquest.
