From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Frac des Pays de la Loire is a public collection of contemporary art of the Pays de la Loire region in France, part of the national Frac network. It is currently located in Carquefou. A second venue is expected to open in Nantes in April 2021.[1]

History[]

The Frac Pays de la Loire's purpose is to build an international collection and organize exhibitions in the region.[2] It has also run a residency program since 1984.[3]

The Frac Pays de la Loire was created in 1982[4] and first settled in the Royal Abbey of Fontevraud. In 1988 it moved to the Villa of La Garenne-Lemot in Clisson. Since 2000 it has been based in Carquefou in a building designed by Jean-Claude Pondevie, specially conceived to meet its conservation and exhibition missions.[5]

The Frac Pays de la Loire was directed by Jean de Loisy from 1983 to 1986, by Guy Trotosa from 1986 to 1988, by Jean-François Taddei from 1988 to 2004, and from 2004 onwards by Laurence Gateau.[6]
