Created in 1998 and 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 permanent collection, its identity is shaped by the men and women who activate the site every day: including artists, curators, authors and intellectuals.

It thus reflects the diversity of research and creation and vibrates to the rhythm of its 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 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 myriad events beyond its walls. Since 1999, it has awarded the Fondation Pernod Ricard Prize, the first of its kind to be created in France, granted each year to young artists of the contemporary scene.

In 2024, the Prize will celebrate its 25th Anniversary.
