Centre d'Art Contemporain
(taken from the Cat'Art website)
Situated
in the village of Sainte Colombe sur l'Hers (department Aude in the south
of France),
the
centre for contemporary art Cat'Art has been created to offer professional
artists
opportunities
of residences, and professional or non professional artists, courses and
workshops.
This private structure is managed by the association Cat'Art.
Cat'Art
also organises art events enabling exchanges between artists,
art
students or art lovers as well as bringing contemporary art closer
to
the public with the exhibitions in the Espace Pilar Riberaygua..
I was fortunate to attend
Cat'Art Center of Contemporary Art in rural South France during the month
of April, 2006. It
was a terrific experience shared with six other artists, one being a resident
of the area.
I kept a blog during the
time I was there and when I returned, made a collection of pages that
focuses on the houses we
stayed in, the grounds and the people involved.

A Month of Journal Entries and Sketches by Annette Bush
Sainte Colombe sur l'Hers
is a very small village with much charm and there is easy access to larger
villages and cities.
For more detail and daily
notes, browse the archives of my blog for the month of April. I will be
happy to answer
questions re the potential
for other artists to experience this most accommodating art residency.
