Artagon is a non-profit organisation dedicated to supporting and promoting art students and young artists. Its purpose is to explore, bring together and support their ideas and practices towards a global audience.
Born from the will to support young artists in their fledgling career, its activity revolved until now around “The exhibition of art school students”. This international event gathers every year between 30 and 50 artists selected by a jury of art professionals within several French and European schools.
In four editions 90 jury members visited 35 European art schools and discovered the works of 850 students, 150 of them have been exhibited in Paris. The exhibitions brought together more than 50,000 visitors and offered many opportunities for the artists.
Due to the coronavirus crisis, the 2020 edition of the exhibition is canceled and replaced by the launch of a support fund for vulnerable art students in France.
Artagon was founded in 2014 by Anna Labouze & Keimis Henni, young curators and artistic directors duo.
