Unlike museums or art centers, FRACs are not associated with a single exhibition location. Each collection is considered a nomadic heritage, rich in educational tools, that moves within the country and abroad. This principle of mobility makes them key players in redistributing culture across the territory, reducing geographical, social, and cultural disparities and promoting access to contemporary art to a diversified public.
