Fondation François Schneider

l’art en plus worked with the Fondation François Schneider from 2017 to 2023.

The Fondation François Schneider, a philanthropic foundation created in 2000 and recognized as a public utility in 2005, pursues a dual commitment to education and culture. It gives high school students access to higher education through scholarships, and supports contemporary artists in the development of their careers. The Foundation encourages creativity through various initiatives on the theme of water: an international competition, the acquisition of works, the organization of thematic exhibitions in its contemporary art center and sculpture garden. Its activities are complemented by publications, loans, traveling exhibitions and a residency program for young artists from schools along the Rhine.

Located on the banks of the Rhine, the Fondation François Schneider places interculturality at the heart of its programming, helping to foster rich exchanges between artists and the populations of these different territories.

l’art en plus has orchestrated the promotion of a dozen exhibitions, including Liquide Liquide, a new immersive exhibition by Céleste Boursier-Mougenot, and Les territoires de l’eau, an event exhibition co-produced with the Musée du quai Branly-Jacques Chirac to mark the Foundation’s 20th anniversary. The agency has also accompanied ten editions of the Contemporary Talents competitions and their winners.
