Let it be said there is a reason to move to France. The Louis Vuitton Foundation for Creation in Paris designed by Frank Gehry. This new center will be built on island located on the Siene outside Paris. It will be the centerpiece of the campaign to invigorate France's contemporary art scene. And if that is not enough, Culture minister Renaud Donnedieu de Vabres announced that the goverment has approved a new tax benefit to encourage young people to pursue careers in the arts and to entice foreign artist to settle in France. One benefit amounts to a 50 percent tax reduction for the first five years of an artist's working life. Also, the country has reinstated a policy whereby public buildings projects must use at least 1 percent of their budget to purchase or commission artworks. You can read more about this in February's ArtNews, and Dexigner.
