Our Mission
Our Core Values
LA SALAMANDRE (the Salamander)
The Salamander was the symbol of Francis 1st, the first French monarch of the renaissance period, considered a major patron of the arts, who lent his support to many artists such as Leonard de Vinci...
A large body of legend and mythology has developed over the centuries around this magical creature.
One day, a black and yellow specimen selected our garden as a shelter from a storm...and since then has lived happily by our side....
Hence, we naturally chose this mythical and mysterious animal to represent the Art Center.
