What is The Art Farm

The Art Farm is dedicated to providing opportunities to artists, musicians, designers and natural builders. We know how hard it is to find space, time and inspiration for creative endeavors in the real world and have created a place where anything is possible.

This is a magical place, growing with each person who comes and contributes their own individual essence. A place where artists, musicians, designers, dancers, photographers, natural builders, creative soul of all kinds and the curious come together in an inspirational existence.

We are changing lives one artist at a time in an ancient and sacred land. Bring us your dreams and let us help you turn them into our reality .

Where it all began

The Art Farm is a living project set in the hills of the Ardeche region of the South of France. Created by Johnny Grant, a sax player, comedian and performer. After 15 years travelling around every major US city and throughout Canada he was requested to give assistance from musicians and artists interested in visiting Europe. Being born in the UK and finally setting down roots in France he begun his life long passion of the Art Farm project. For the last 4 years people have visited from around the globe. Neither a permaculture site or a fully restored retreat center it has a style all of its own. Kind of like Johnny Grant. The rooms and projects change each week. Each area is being lovingly restored to house workshops and visiting artists. Some come simply to visit the project and others come with an interest to stay awhile. What ever has lead you to these pages please drop us an email and see how the Art Farm can be a part of your dreams. As Robert Davi said “Johnny Grant is like something out of a Fellini movie” So is the Art Farm. With more music, more art and more life than anywhere else in this region of France please be ready for the crazy world of the Art Farm.
