The fondation
Our MISSIONS
The Fondation's aim is to support artists throughout their creative process by helping them to develop professionally through networking with key structures and players on the national and international artistic scene.
International residencies
"The abundance of creative work and the mix of artistic fields are the DNA of our institution".
The primary aim of the residency is to provide artists with a privileged setting in which they can carry out their research and creative work. The artists are supported by the Fondation's team throughout their residency. They benefit from conditions that facilitate collaboration with the other residents and with outside organisations.
Artists receive artistic and technical support tailored to their needs and in line with the project they wish to develop: technical assistance with production, distribution, administrative support and communication. French as a foreign language courses are also offered to international artists to facilitate their integration and day-to-day exchanges.
The Fondation Fiminco's residencies are designed to help artists gain a higher profile on the French art scene and become part of a network.
To this end, the Fondation organises meetings with professionals from the art world: curators, collectors, gallery owners, friends of museums, journalists and art critics. Open studios are also organised, giving the public the opportunity to discover the studios and creative spaces over the course of an entire day.
Mediation
"A space for transmission and sharing, anchored in its region."
In keeping with Groupe Fiminco's many cultural philanthropic initiatives, the Fondation Fiminco is committed to making this venue a place for sharing, rooted in the local community. Through its actions, the Fiminco Foundation aims to be a living space, accessible and open to all. To this end, the Fondation Fiminco offers a wide range of activities throughout the year to introduce the public to art and contemporary creation: artistic and cultural education initiatives, participatory projects and events, guided tours, workshops and meetings.
Conceived as a place of transmission and creation, the Fondation has set up long-term partnerships with cultural institutions and local authorities to offer Artistic and Cultural Education programs to establishments and associations in the Seine-Saint-Denis region.
