First collection of Art Brut in the world.
The museum now has more than 70,000 works by 1,000 authors.
Nearly 700 works are on permanent display in the rooms of the Château de Beaulieu, specially laid out over 4 floors to accommodate the creations of authors appearing in its collections.
The Collection de l'Art Brut pursues its mission through the discovery, study and preservation of these dissident creations. It is actively supported in its various activities bythe Association of Friends of Art Brut (AAAB).
BLACK BOX
In parallel with the temporary exhibitions on the walls of the Boite Noire, this site invites you to discover or rediscover in a permanent way, artists with very different universes unearthed according to my artistic strolls.
Even more than simple finds, I simply present to you the artists who make this profession sometimes breathe a little air of magic.
In a few words, my favourites, my friends, my creative family…
Hoping that my choices affect you, I wish you a nice walk in the Black Box.

Let's dream it's time
It is in the heart of Old Tours, in the Arts district, that Florence Fert and Valère Trocquenet have chosen to create their art gallery. An atypical district, where there are many artists' and craftsmen's workshops.
The couple have always shared this passion. Florence Fert has been collaborating for several years with her father, Jean-Claude Fert, at the Fert gallery (located in Yvoire, Haute-Savoie, since 1983) and Valère Trocquenet has made numerous documentaries on contemporary artists.
They therefore decided to open a second gallery in Tours in 2020, Rêvons c'est l'heure, to promote art and defend contemporary figurative painting, drawing and sculpture. Works "which do not seek to agree with the tapestry" but which shake, challenge or invite you to daydream. Portraits of artists and films, produced by Rêvons c'est l'heure, are shown in the gallery.
Art Compulsion
The ARTCOMPULSION Art Gallery is the benchmark for living art online: Singular Art, Outsider Art, Expressionism, Popular Art, Naïve Art, and Contemporary Art.
The Choose Gallery
It is by a common denominator "the passion for art" that Laurent COQUANT gallery owner/dealer for more than 30 years and Henri TRUMER lawyer and amateur enlightened by art and its history, share their passions and their experiences.
From this friendship, in 2019 Henri and Laurent join forces to defend the work of Epsylon Point, street artist and pioneer of urban art in France. This complicity will give birth to an ephemeral space located close to Beaubourg.
Building on this experience, La CHOOSE Galerie opens its doors in January 2020 in the 8th arrondissement in Paris in order to contribute to the development of the French artistic scene in the world.
It was in 2010 that the association "L'Art au paradis" was created. The association wishes to support artistic expression by creating an interdisciplinary meeting point where emerging artists, established artists, artists to discover or rediscover, rub shoulders. The creator and president of the association is Philippe Bréchet, a photographer from Tours.
The Inouïs Curieux association was created in Chaumont in 2014 and its main purpose is the development of the individual through artistic expression and encounters. It offers the animation of plastic and recreational arts workshops for children and the realization of exhibitions and performances of artists in Haute-Marne.
Art D Fay is a collective of professional and recognized artists, brought together to organize exhibitions and artistic events.

A place more oriented towards singular art, art on the margins, an art that is sometimes disconcerting but always deeply human. An art that questions and brings people to exchange. An exhibition space dedicated to Singular Art. Located in the countryside, at 10 le Moulin Roty, in Saffré, in Loire Atlantique. Managed by the ABBAC association
Art direction: Francois Chauvet
