The Nouveau Programme

The Nouveau Programme, an evolution of the Fondation Pernod Ricard Prize inaugurated in 2025, continues the Foundation's commitment to artists through long-term support, with redesigned formats and renewed support methods.

In a collaborative and curatorial approach, the Fondation Pernod Ricard entrusts each edition of its program to a guest curator, responsible for inviting three artists.

The program revolves around a group exhibition in the Foundation's spaces, accompanied by critical work in advance and personalized follow-up after the exhibition.

A book, including previously unpublished texts on each artist, as well as original contributions and unpublished translations into French, extends the reflections of the exhibition.

In addition to the exhibition, each artist will receive tailor-made support to develop a specific project (production, residency or exhibition), in partnership with institutions in France or abroad.

Finally, thanks to the partnership with the Centre Pompidou/MNAM, the artists' works will join the national collections through a donation by the Foundation.
