Artists

ArtDip is proud to partner with innovative artists and educators. Yes, it’s exciting to discover Brittany and learn about new aspects of French culture, but these people are really the stars of the show, and we’re so grateful to have the opportunity to collaborate with them. We work hard to create experiences that highlight our teaching artists’ unique skills and talents.
