The Carmignac Foundation

About the organization

Created in 2000 in France on the initiative of Edouard Carmignac, Fondation Carmignac (The Carmignac Foundation) is a corporate foundation with two main focuses: an art collection of close to 300 works, and the Photojournalism Award given out annually. In partnership with the Fondation Carmignac, the Villa Carmignac, this exhibition space open to the public, was conceived in Porquerolles to showcase the collection and to host cultural and artistic activities.
