Lastly the idea of exhibition is main pillar of what we do to at the foundation, the humbly important aspect of exhibition and the necessity for the culmination of an artist’s work to be cohesively and aesthetically displayed alone or with other artists and available to the general public, other artists, gallerists and collectors and is an intrinsic part of the life of an artist and is an art in its own right.

Finally, the Foundation supports seminars, research, publications, and special projects across the arts that reflect a joyful, responsive, and irreverent approach to making art while living an empathetic and meaningful life.

Surrounded by flowing rivers and over seven hundred years of history, this gentle ancient valley geography is the setting of Chateau Comble yet it is only 1.5 hours SW of Paris by TGV. Within this long historical context, the desired stewardship of the proceeding decades must be assured and protected, and ultimately developed. The world of visual arts, along with mentorship and exhibition leads to the foundation’s patrimony that envisions a lasting use, an indelible link to the local community and upkeep that will continue to imbue Chateau Comble with an essential purpose worthy of its history.
