Does the beauty of the surrounding countryside have a role to play in the creativity of the artists in the Cevennes?
Both the materials used and the pieces produced would lead you to believe so...
Today there are a number of excellent artists with different specialities : pottery, ceramics, sculpture, stone carving, wood turning, painting and more, whose work can be enjoyed at different markets and exhibitions.
A number of painters live or spend time in the Cevennes. This inspired the commune of Breau to organise an annual exhibition at the end of July/beginning of August for local painters, "Salon de Breau en Cevennes". At the end of the exhibition a work of art is bought by the commune.

Each year there is a pottery market on Easter Sunday and Monday in le Vigan.There are a huge variety of products, ranging from the practical (bowls, dishes etc.) to real works of art : all well worth seeing. Workshops for children, an exhibition and musical entertainment all add to the day.
