Les Arts en l'Île

A showcase for art craftsmanship in Nouvelle-Aquitaine

Les Arts en l'Île is an ephemeral art craftsmanship gallery set up every summer on the Île de Vassivière. Supported by the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region, the Chamber of Trades and Crafts, and the Center for Art Crafts of Limousin, this initiative highlights the richness and diversity of regional artisanal know-how in an exceptional natural setting.

Thirty exceptional artisans

Each edition hosts about thirty carefully selected art craftsmen, who exhibit and sell their creations: leather goods, ceramics, wooden objects, wool items, and many other noble materials. Visitors can discover remarkable artisanal creations, chat with the artisans, and learn more about their techniques and creative process.

A natural setting for art

The Île de Vassivière, located between Creuse and Haute-Vienne in the heart of the lake, offers an idyllic setting for this celebration of creativity and artisanal authenticity. In partnership with the Syndicat de l'Île de Vassivière and the tourist office, Les Arts en l'Île combines culture, craftsmanship, and nature, inviting visitors for an artistic stroll through the stands and landscapes.
