In December 2015, the French Ministry of Culture launched the “1 Building 1 Work of Art” programme, aimed at promoting contact with works of art in our living spaces. In signing up to this scheme, alongside twelve other major players in the sector, VINCI Immobilier has undertaken to provide a prominent place for a work of art whenever it creates or renovates a building. For each new property development programme, signatories commit themselves to call upon the services of an artist, be this in the form of a specific commission or of the purchase of an existing work, and to bear the costs of the production and installation of the work.
Similar schemes have already been implemented in some of VINCI Immobilier’s residential and commercial programmes. For Olivier de la Roussière, Chairman of VINCI Immobilier: “Participating in the 1 Building, 1 Work of Art operation therefore seems a natural step for us, putting onto a systematic footing an approach that fits perfectly with our policy.”
Each year, more than a thousand works of art will thus be created or purchased and exhibited, across the country. And some will be awarded the Grand Prize, the Emerging Artist Prize or the General Public Prize, helping to increase public awareness of this scheme.
