ellipse art projects

France and international

Established in 2020 on the initiative of Ellipse Projects, a European company specializing in advanced infrastructure in West Africa and Southeast Asia, the endowment fund "ellipse art projects" promotes artist mobility and cross-cultural dialogue. Each year, the "Prix ellipse" (Ellipse Prize) honors an artist from one of the countries where the group operates, offering them a residency and an exhibition; meanwhile, the "E+” mentorship program, launched in 2024, supports female artists in partnership with the Lyon Biennale.
