Paris Sud Aménagement
Manifesto has accompanied the developer Paris Sud Aménagement to create an endowment fund for art in the city.
Paris Sud Aménagement wanted to create an endowment fund to support artistic projects in the public sphere. The developer asked Manifesto to work with it to develop this strategic tool. Manifesto provided Paris Sud Aménagement with guidance on identifying the vision, objectives and types of initiatives to support, structuring the governance and establishing a development strategy.
This fund supports the representation of contemporary artists in the public space, ensuring that art is an additional building block in the city’s construction. It aims to promote contemporary artistic creation in the broadest sense of the term, particularly living creation, within the Île-de-France region.
In addition to artistic creation within the public space, educational and mediation initiatives for young audiences were also established. To encourage interaction between the various stakeholders, the fund develops crossover programs including residencies, touring artworks and live performances, among other things.
