Support the Festival

How to support the Festival?

Help us to bring in world-renowned international speakers, to finance the arrival of students, teachers or school audiences, to highlight living art at the festival (visual artists, but also actors, musicians, dancers) , to offer practical workshops and prize giving.

Contribute to the influence of art history by participating in the success of the only event dedicated to the discipline in France and the largest in Europe. Associate yourself with a reference event that has been able to retain its audience: festival-goers, more than 90 % satisfied, want to come back the following year.

All you need to do is contact the INHA with Veerle Thielemans (scientific director of the festival) or at the château de Fontainebleau with Damien Heurtebise (general delegate of the festival) and Guillaume Dinkel (head of the patronage service, the development of the estate and institutional relations at the Château de Fontainebleau). A meeting can be organized to discuss the possibilities allowing you to support a Festival action!
