In creating the Trampoline Association, private cultural entities unite their efforts to carry out a collective action in favour of the international reputation of the French art scene. Trampoline thus confirms the commitment of its members to work together in order to support and highlight the work of visual artists abroad.
A group of art professionals first met in 2017, under the initiative of Laurent Dumas, company director and fervent patron of the French art scene, to lay the foundations of a common reflection around the promotion of French art scenes. In July 2019, the non-profit association Trampoline was born from these discussions, with the aim of raising the profile of French artists or artists living in France.
Today, the association implements different initiatives – in addition to those already carried out by public and private actors – which aim to amplify the ecosystem of contemporary art in France in its international dynamics.
Trampoline’s three AREAS OF ACTIVITY :
- Instigate and support international exhibition projects and the wider dissemination of artists from the French art scene ;
- Invite directors and curators of international institutions to France to encourage the development of projects abroad ;
- Contribute towards the participation of artists from the French scene in international residencies.
