Pernod Ricard Foundation Opens New Paris Space on May 19

The Pernod Ricard Corporate Foundation will open its new art space in Paris on May 19, located at 1 Cours Paul Ricard in the Saint Lazare district. This expansion signifies the company's ongoing commitment to supporting artists and making contemporary art more accessible to the public.

The newly designed venue features a 300-square-meter exhibition area, a 112-seat auditorium for conferences and performances, and a flexible hall for various events. The space also includes "Café Mirette," which offers a library and bookstore, aiming to serve as a welcoming gathering point.

Founded more than two decades ago and having showcased over 1,000 artists, the foundation intends to maintain its mission of promoting emerging contemporary art. "We are delighted to offer Paris a new artistic venue that will contribute to the capital's cultural dynamism and share this 'artistic conviviality' with the widest possible audience," stated Alexandre Ricard, Chairman and CEO of Pernod Ricard.

For its opening, the foundation will host "Le Juste Prix," an exhibition by artist Bertrand Dezoteux, running until June 12. This will be followed by a solo exhibition by artist Isabelle Cornaro from June 21 to July 31, focusing on her filmmaking, which will also feature a new virtual gallery.
