Art and territory2007

An artistic route born as a biennial in 2007 along 120 kilometres of the Loire estuary between Nantes and Saint-Nazaire. After three editions (2007, 2009, 2012), the contemporary artworks that were kept became a permanent open-air collection, with educational mediation run by the association Estuarium since 2016. It is an example of art and territory that goes beyond a one-off festival approach.
