Inaugurated in 2013 in the former bottling plant of the Wattwiller springs, the François Schneider Foundation’s Art Centre is a unique venue entirely dedicated to the theme of water. Every year, through temporary exhibitions and cultural projects, this vital element is explored across all its facets: artistic, poetic, aesthetic, geographic, political, and scientific.
Since its launch in 2011, the Talents Contemporains competition dedicated to the theme of water has honored numerous international artists, thereby building a singular and highly original institutional collection of contemporary art.
The competition is open to visual artists of all nationalities who are of legal age.
