About the Comité Professionnel des Galeries d’Art

Since 1947, the Comité Professionnel des Galeries d’Art (CPGA) has represented art galleries in France and defended their interests in dealings with politicians, institutional representatives and administrative authorities. It participates in the elaboration of art market regulations and contributes to cultural policies favoring the development of the art sector. The Committee informs and advises its 320 member galleries, from antique dealers to contemporary art galleries, on the specifics of their status and obligations, and supports them on technical issues.

For several years now, the CPGA has been involved in major cultural events, helping to raise the profile of art galleries as genuine partners in artistic creation. It also works to develop the French art scene internationally.

 

About Fluxus Art Projects

Created in 2010 by the Institut français du Royaume-Uni and chaired by Hélène Nguyen-Ban, Fluxus Art Projects is a Charity dedicated to supporting contemporary art on both sides of the Channel. Fluxus Art Projects encourages artistic cooperation between France and the UK. It builds a bridge between the French and British art scenes by focusing on three objectives:

  • Supporting venues for solo and group exhibitions of French-based artists in the UK and vice versa, to help them gain international visibility
  • Accompanying curators on research trips to France and the UK
  • Within the new Magnetic programme, create a structuring network of artist residencies between partner institutions that share values and commitments.

As a Franco-British public-private fund, Fluxus Art Projects has become, in 13 years, an amazing talent booster, a prescriptive mechanism and an artists’ notoriety marker. Fluxus Art Projects and its Magnetic programme are supported by Institut français du Royaume-Uni, Institut français, French Ministry of Culture, French Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs, Arts Council England, Creative Scotland, Arts Council of Wales/Wales Arts International, Arts Council of Northern Ireland and the British Council. Fluxus benefits from the invaluable and unwavering commitment of its patrons and friends.

In 2024, Fluxus will organize a symmetrical prize to the FLUXUS-CPGA Award, celebrating an artist from the British scene in France.
