Published
The painter Philippe Journiac, a resident of Plélan-le-Petit in the Côtes-d'Armor, has received the gold medal of the Academy of Arts, Sciences and Letters in Paris. The award ceremony took place on 24 October at the Academy's hôtel.
This award is given by a Parisian institution that honours figures from the worlds of the arts, sciences and letters. Being chosen by this academy is an important recognition for an artist, as it highlights his work beyond his commune.
Philippe Journiac is a painter based in the region. His medal shows that his work is recognised at the national level, and not only locally. For the commune of Plélan-le-Petit, this distinction is also a source of pride.
This event illustrates the vitality of artistic creation in small French communes. It is a reminder that artists based outside the big cities can also receive prestigious distinctions.
