Fondation d'entreprise Pernod Ricard in Paris, France

Art and Culture

Pernod Ricard continues the mission of founder Paul Ricard by widely supporting artists and contemporary artistic creation.

 

Creativity as community

Since Pernod Ricard’s foundation in 1975, we’ve intrinsically believed that art is meant to be shared. The Fondation Pernod Ricard conveys this mission and fosters the Group’s raison d’être as createurs de convivialité—creators of conviviality. Art is convivial by its very nature: it galvanizes discussions, debates, opinions, and reflections.

Complementary to our Fondation, Pernod Ricard’s corporate philanthropy enables us to share our passion for artistry and innovation with the largest possible audience, rooted in a long-term perspective and an international scope

The artistic program

Since its creation in 1998, the Fondation operates as a platform for showcasing artists, highlighting the emerging contemporary scene both within France and at a global scale. It’s an inclusive space for everyone with a rich programme of conferences, performances, and temporary installations. The Fondation encompasses a main exhibition space, a bookstore, an auditorium, and an all-day café (managed by La Pantruchoise).

The Fondation Pernod Ricard has featured more than 1000 artists, invited by 250 curators, as part of the 150 exhibitions since its debut. Instead of being tethered to a permanent collection, the Foundation’s identity is constantly reshaped and renewed by a stream of interdisciplinary figures—artists, curators, authors, and intellectuals—who animate it in fresh ways.

The artistic commission is dedicated to young graduates in illustration, offering the successful candidates a two-month residency to three countries where Pernod Ricard operates.

The artists applied for their country of choice and from the numerous applications reviewed by a jury, three young EnsAD graduates were selected.

Centre Pompidou

Pernod Ricard has established close ties with leading cultural institutions in France and around the world. Most notably we have shown longstanding support to the Centre Pompidou—the largest museum for modern art in Europe.

We have been a major corporate sponsor for over four decades, and since 2023 this also includes live performances, highlighting the power of human expression and shared physical experiences.

And each year, an artwork by the winner of the Fondation Pernod Ricard Prize is purchased and donated to the Centre Pompidou, providing them with incredible visibility.

Pernod Ricard was a major sponsor for G.R.O.O.V.E choreographed by Bintou Dembélé and presented at the Centre Pompidou in October 2023, the special performance was free and open to everyone.

A major figure in hip hop in France, Bintou Dembélé is a committed artist who creates bridges between cultures, mixing hip hop, krump and contemporary performance.

I like this idea that the public can move, move around, make noise, express their joy. We all celebrate together, despite everything.” - Bintou Dembélé
