Unique in Europe for its theme, the François Schneider Foundation encourages creation through various initiatives dedicated to the theme of water, including an international competition, the acquisition of works for its collection and the organisation of exhibitions in its art centre.
The François Schneider Foundation - Contemporary art centre
Founded in 2013 in a former spa resort in the Alsatian village of Wattwiller, the Centre d'Art Contemporain offers visitors over 2,500m2 of exhibition space dedicated to the theme of water. A former bottling workshop transformed and expanded to become an art gallery, its architecture is bright and transparent. The building also boasts a panoramic terrace, a bookstore, a café and an auditorium.
