The Fondation d’entreprise Hermès is a public-interest organisation providing a central focus for the patronage activities of the house of Hermès. The Foundation operates in France and internationally, as a producer of cultural events in its own right (including shows at Hermès's exhibition spaces around the world), and through support for external projects in the arts, education and the environment.
• Core activities of the Fondation d’entreprise Hermès
The Foundation has defined four key areas of activity, reflecting the values of the house of Hermès. Your project should correspond to at least one of these areas:
- the promotion and preservation of craft skills and expertise (and heritage collections in this area).
- support for the contemporary arts in their most ground-breaking, cross-disciplinary forms: the visual arts*, performing arts, design…
- support for organisations working to promote access to education and training for underprivileged children and young adults
- support for research into the environment, with a particular focus on projects aimed at studying and preserving biodiversity.
* The Foundation's support for the visual arts is chiefly focused on shows in the art spaces : La Verrière in Brussels, Le Forum in Tokyo, Atelier Hermès in Seoul, The Gallery Hermès in New York, Third Floor in Singapore, TH13 in Bern and H-Box.
