Arthouse Chantelle's Mission Statement

Arthouse is a small gallery, studio, workshop, arts residency and home in the rural town of Chantelle in central france. Housed in a 15th century building, it sits on the edge of a beautiful wooded river gorge. Local architecture is largely medieval with the Abbey of St Vincent nearby in the town and dominating the Gorge. Typically, work involves basic skills - gardening, walling, painting etc. but craftsmen are valued as well!
