Group Exhibition Jeune Création: Supporting Young Artists

The Ropac gallery's infrastructure will promote the exhibition of 60 international artists selected to participate by the Jeune Création committee, to foster much-needed sales of their work at a critical time. The show will be on view from 12-26 September 2020 with all sales proceeds going directly to the artists and their galleries.

 Thaddaeus Ropac comments, 'This is an unprecedented time for so many, but within our art world community it is particularly challenging for the next generation of artists and young galleries. By offering our largest gallery space and our full infrastructure to present work by 60 young artists we can support those in our community who are most in need.'

Jérémy Chabaud, director of Jeune Création, states, 'In this troubled period of health crisis, Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac and Jeune Création unite with vigour and reinforced solidarity to celebrate the 70th edition of Jeune Création and affirm their support to artists. Everyone will be invited to create, reflect and act together in favour of creative freedom.'
