CO-TEMPORAIRE is a federation of artists, sculptors, a team of voluntary workers, writers, musicians, computer artists, web-masters, comedians etc.

As a multi-disciplinary association, the members of CO-T pool their experience and ideas. The informal combination of our differences gives birth to joint or kindred schemes.

The objectives of our community include the organisation of cultural events and the construction of a network of workshops. A regularly updated web-site hosts the magazine, “Tantale” and provides full information about our other artistic activities. We are constantly looking for ways to promote our professions and their authors.

Our association is in contact with over 300 artists and associations who participate with us for events such as a sculptor’s symposium or a publication, a communal workshop, a compilation, the site or any other project in which they wish to take part, hence our name, CO-(association)TEMPORAIRE.

SCULPTORS Artist’s Residence :
The Sculptor’s Studio invites artists from other regions and countries to stay in the Artist’s Residence.

We invite sculptors to display and work in the sculptors’ studio managed by the CO-TEMPORAIRE federation. 3 or 4 sculptors are permanently housed in the studios located in the former fish market of the old La Rochelle harbour. Guest sculptors are housed by the Association or by the city. During their stay, the studio is open to the public every afternoon.

Our partners in the symposium are : Conseil Général des Charante Maritimes PRMA Private companies.
