Who are we ?

True to Paul Ricard’s engagement with artists, but also the Pernod Ricard company’s values of conviviality and generosity, the Fondation has been resolutely dedicated to contemporary art for 25 years. Directed by Antonia Scintilla since 2023, Fondation Pernod Ricard actively contributes to the development of art scenes in France on the national and international levels.

The Fondation has been installed since 2021 near the Gare Saint-Lazare in Paris. With no collection, its identity is forged by the men and women who
bring it to life everyday – including artists, curators, authors, and intellectuals. It thus reflects the diversity of research and creation and vibrates to the
rhythm of their variations.

Convinced that art is a vector of emancipation and social harmony, Fondation Pernod Ricard aims to promote today’s artistic creation in all its forms and to render it accessible to all, free of charge. To achieve this, it runs a varied programme of exhibitions and events, upholds an exacting editorial policy, and supports numerous events beyond its walls.

For 25 years, it has awarded the Fondation Pernod Ricard Prize, the first of its kind in France, each year to young artists on the contemporary scene, which will evolve in 2025 to become the Nouveau Programme.

In January 2024, it inaugurated Aperto, a research and experimentation space located in immediate proximity to the Fondation’s exhibition spaces.

Continuing its commitment to the contemporary art scene in France, in 2025 the Foundation is inaugurating the Nouveau Programme, an evolution of its Prize, affirming its desire to support artists over the long term, through redesigned formats and renewed support methods.
