National Plastic Arts Centre
The National Centre for the Visual Arts, a ministry public institution
of Culture and Communication implements a set of
funding of artists' projects and helping artists
private structures (gallery owners, publishers, audiovisual producers) to act in
creation. The institution is committed to supporting the
contemporary artistic creation in its greatest diversity, both
from the point of view of career paths as well as disciplines
the media used (painting, design, photography, performance, creation
sound, sculpture, video, graphic design, etc.) and encourages practices that
are not immediately part of a productive economy,
whereas the moment of research is, for all artists, a
essential aspect of any artistic work. The CNAP therefore intervenes in
benefit of artists, designers, graphic designers, as critics,
theoreticians and restorers by various aids.
By accompanying these different actors during their work and
projects, the CNAP puts itself at the service of contemporary creation and
contributes to the development of the artistic scene.
