Young Talents Return from France
The Jeunes Talents - a group of nine art students from three prestigious Southern California art schools - returned from their whirlwind tour of three French regions over the summer.
These trips were sponsored by Maison de la France/The French Government Tourist Office and the Cultural Services of the Consulate General of France in Los Angeles as a means of nurturing Franco-American friendship, as well as the production of future masterpieces inspired by modern-day France.
A website has been dedicated to this project.
"This invitation to France is an opportunity to promote emerging young American talents and to strengthen our partnership with universities," says Alain Belais, Cultural Attaché at the Consulate General of France in Los Angeles.
"Thanks to the participation of Maison de la France it also gives these young people a chance to discover and experience France in a very unique and in-depth way."
The artists were sent in three groups to three different regions of France - Alsace, Brittany and Provence.
Based on their experiences, each artist was asked to produce at least two paintings each, representing their feelings about France during their trip.
The paintings, most of which are now ready, will be exhibited beginning on Thursday, February 23, 2006 and through
