DOCUMENTS D’ARTISTES : A MEANS TO DISCOVER REGIONAL ART SCENES

Documents d'artistes associations exist in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur (since 1999), Bretagne -Brittany (since 2009), Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (since 2010), Nouvelle-Aquitaine (since 2012), Occitanie -Occitania & La Réunion Island (since 2021), Geneva area (since 2022) and Centre Loire-Valley since 2024.

The common objective of these associations is to exhibit online monographs of selected visual artists living and working in their respective regions. As a complement to the initiatives of local cultural stakeholders, the Documents d'artistes function as the providers of a resource—namely, a professional online registry of contemporary art accessible to all.

The folios are compiled in collaboration with the artists and regularly updated to reflect the evolution of their artistic production. This extensive editorial enterprise undertaken by the teams is supplemented by initiatives focused on mediation, communication, and professional support, with the aim of promoting artists and the development of their art. Each Documents d'artistes is thus a friend of the arts in its region, acting in partnership with the various constituents of its particular cultural fabric.

By assembling and regularly updating a dynamic and evolving online artist folio archive, Documents d'artistes showcase the vitality of regional art scenes, helping them garner exposure and increasing appreciation among public and professionals alike.

To join a Documents d'artists for documentation of artistic works, artists active in the territories where the associations are located can respond to calls for applications issued each year by each of the associations.
