Requests for artwork loans

In order to make in-depth work on the collection possible, the movement of works has been considerably restricted.

How to request?

The time frame

All requests should be sent at least six months before the opening of the exhibition.
For any loans outside France, additional six weeks are necessary before the shipping of works due to administrative approval.

The request

The requests are submitted to the Frac Centre-Val de Loire loans Committee which usually meets three times per year.

A letter should be addressed to the President of the Frac Centre-Val de Loire:

Madame Carole Canette

The letter must detail the dates, the place, the title and itinerary in case of the exhibition procession. It must also include the list of the requested works with the name of the artist, the title of the works and the inventory number (please see the link for the collection)
