ellipse art projects

l’art en plus has been advising ellipse art projects since its creation in 2020.

ellipse art projects was created in 2020 at the initiative of Ellipse Projects, a European company specializing in cutting-edge infrastructure in the healthcare and digital sectors, operating mainly in West Africa and South-East Asia. A genuine lever for sustainability, promoting economic growth and social inclusion, culture is undeniably weakened by the lack of support for artists, initiatives and structures working to disseminate, promote and protect it. Following in the footsteps of the founding company Ellipse Projects, the ellipse art projects endowment fund aims to promote exchanges within territories through art, by encouraging the sharing of knowledge and dialogue between cultures. 

Each year, the ellipse Prize honors artistic creation in a sub-Saharan African or Asian country, while promoting collective awareness of the environment through the messages conveyed by the artists.

In 2024, ellipse art projects consolidated its support for young artists with a new mentoring program for women artists. Fully dedicated to women, this project aims to create a dialogue between an experienced mentor and a young artist, supporting her in a professional project that will contribute to the development of her work. The exhibition of the first artist selected, Ines Katamso, took place during the 17th Lyon Biennial as part of the Jeune création internationale program, in partnership with the Institut d’art contemporain de Villeurbanne and MAC Lyon.

l’art en plus has advised ellipse art projects in the conception and launch of the ellipse Prize, on the communication strategy development and the search for partners. l’art en plus combined media relations and public relations to raise awareness of the company’s commitment to culture among a community of journalists and influencers.
