Artagon is an association of general interest dedicated to supporting, promoting and accompanying emerging creation and cultures, founded in 2014 by the duo of artistic directors and curators Anna Labouze & Keimis Henni. Throughout the year, it offers a plurality of programs – exhibitions, events, production support, grants, training, creation and management of resource venues – aimed at art students, young artists and cultural professionals at the start of their careers.
Supporting emerging creation
Today, Artagon heads up three resource centers dedicated to supporting emerging creation in France: Artagon Marseille, Artagon Pantin near Paris and Maison Artagon in the Loiret region, near Orléans. With over 7,500 m2 of work, training and production space, bringing together over a hundred residents simultaneously, Artagon is the largest multi-disciplinary, multi-site cultural incubator in France.
An inclusive, accessible and popular vision of creation
Based on the vision that art and culture play a key role in the development of an emancipating, conscious and caring society, Artagon leads and supports projects in collaboration with numerous public and private players, particularly in the fields of social, educational and sustainable development, and works to strengthen the porosity of the arts with other fields. Artagon is also committed to an inclusive, accessible and popular vision of creation, and promotes its discovery and mediation among a wide range of audiences.
