pARTage Projet
A course created in partnership with FAB Paris to enable young people accompanied by an association to discover Art through visits and fun artistic activities.
We are working with FAB Paris (formerly Fine Arts Paris & Biennale des Antiquaires) to give young people supported by an association access to fairs and/or exhibitions to discover different types of artwork and the concept of collecting art.
They are invited to take a tour over several months to discover works of art from different periods and of different origins, with two highlights: a day of mediation at the FAB Paris exhibition (in September), and a visit to the Salon du Dessin (in March).
This unique solidarity scheme, called ‘pARTage’, took place for the first time on Saturday 23 November 2024, as part of the FAB Paris exhibition, the only general exhibition devoted to the fine arts in Paris, held at the Grand Palais.
The aim of the programme is to
- bring together two worlds and audiences that are often far apart, or even unknown to each other, through a unique, intimate and fun experience
- demystify art and accompany a journey of discovery to provoke emotions,
- explain and share the concept of art collecting by putting young people in the shoes of collectors for a day.
48 young people from priority neighbourhoods in Meaux, accompanied by the Métis association, enjoyed a private tour of 4 galleries. Many thanks to the gallery owners, who answered the children's many questions!
The young people were able to put themselves in the shoes of a collector and select the work that touched them the most. After preparing a short presentation, they presented this work to a jury made up of personalities from the art world, who awarded a ‘coup de coeur’ to the presentations that had touched them the most.
