Founded at Paris’ 22 Place Vendôme in 1906, Van Cleef & Arpels came into being following Estelle Arpels’ marriage to Alfred Van Cleef in 1895. Over the decades, the excellence of the High Jewelry Maison established its reputation across the world. Its emblematic signatures – such as the Alhambra® motif, the Zip necklace or the Mystery Set™ technique – its selection of Pierres de Caractère™, exceptional gems that instill an emotion, and the savoir-faire of its Mains d’Or™, the virtuoso craftsmen of Van Cleef & Arpels’ workshops, have given birth to jewelry and watchmaking collections redolent of dreams and enchantment. Today, the Maison remains faithful to this highly distinctive style characterized by poetry, refinement, creativity and artistic sensibility. Whether inspired by nature, couture, dance or the imagination, it offers the world a gateway to a timeless universe of beauty and harmony.
Van Cleef & Arpels’ constant commitment to creation also finds expression in its various activities as a partner and patron in the cultural field. Reflecting the Maison’s attachment to values of transmission and sharing, these initiatives take place in sectors that it holds dear: they include heritage protection, fine and decorative arts, design, ballet and poetry.

Fondation Luma
The LUMA Foundation was established in 2004 by Maja Hoffmann in Switzerland to support the activities of independent artists and pioneers, as well as institutions working in the fields of visual arts, photography, publishing, documentary, and multimedia. The foundation commissions, produces and supports challenging artistic projects combing a particular interest in environmental issues, human rights, education, and culture in the broadest sense.
LUMA Arles is a new experimental contemporary art center that brings together artists, researchers, and creators from every field to collaborate on multi-disciplinary works and exhibitions. Located south of Arles’ historic city center, the project repurposes the industrial ruins of a 10-acre rail depot and introduces a new public park at the Parc des Ateliers.
The central team of designers for the project includes: Frank Gehry, who has designed a new Arts Resource Center building; Selldorf Architects, who are entrusted with the renovation and conversion of two former rail facilities into new exhibition spaces; and Bas Smets, who is responsible for the landscape design.
While the opening of the main building at the Parc des Ateliers is scheduled for 2018, an artistic program developed in collaboration with the LUMA Arles Core Group of artistic consultants— Maja Hoffmann, Tom Eccles, Liam Gillick, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Philippe Parreno, and Beatrix Ruf—is presented periodically in the already opened venues of La Grande Halle, Les Forges and La Mécanique Générale.
Recent projects produced by the LUMA Foundation for LUMA Arles at Parc des Ateliers in Arles include: SYSTEMATICALLY OPEN? New Forms for Contemporary Image Production (2016); Imponderable: The Archives of Tony Oursler (2015); Frank Gehry: Solaris Chronicles (2014); Wolfgang Tillmans: Neue Welt (2013); To the Moon via the Beach (2012); Doug Aitken: Altered Earth (2012); How Soon is Now (2010) and the symposia How Institutions Think (2016); The Flood of Rights (2013) and The Human Snapshot (2011).

Lune Rouge

Inspired by contemporary creativity and innovation, Guy Laliberté has applied the same passion that went into Lune Rouge, an enterprise that develops creative and technological projects, into building an art collection. The Lune Rouge Collection features the powerful voices of established artists who reflect on the human condition and emerging artists’ diverse perspectives.
The Lune Rouge – Ibiza Art Project is a contemporary art exploratory space that offers the local and international community the chance to encounter works from Lune Rouge Collection and the artists supported by the organization.

ENGIE
ENGIE, Grand Mécène du Palais de Tokyo, a souhaité placer l’accès pour tous à la culture et l’innovation au cœur de son partenariat avec le Palais de Tokyo. Le Groupe est ainsi partenaire de la Médiation du Palais de Tokyo dans le cadre de ses actions en faveur de l’accès à la culture pour tous, y compris pour le projet Educalab.
Re-créé en 2012, le Palais de Tokyo est l’un des plus grands sites dédiés à la création contemporaine en Europe, couronné en 2014 au niveau européen « Marque culturelle la plus innovante » au niveau européen. Son ambition : augmenter notre capacité à percevoir, à imaginer et à ouvrir des voies nouvelles.
Le Groupe ENGIE exploite dans les sous-sols du Palais de Tokyo à travers sa filiale Climespace une unité de production de froid, d’une capacité de 52 MW qui assure l’alimentation de l’ouest parisien en chaud et froid et constitue une de production d’eau glacée. Une implantation qui répondait à des exigences de développement durable et de préservation tant de la qualité de l’air que de l’esthétique architecturale, évitant en effet la construction d’une centaine d’installations autonomes et autant de tours de refroidissement.
ENGIE a souhaité marier présence industrielle et politique de mécénat dans ce lieu unique et s’associer à un projet innovant, et faire ainsi vivre son engagement d’« Être utile aux hommes » : combiner les énergies et les compétences pour permettre et accompagner des projets utiles aux citoyens de demain, comme favoriser l’accès de tous à la culture, une des missions de la Fondation du Groupe ENGIE.
ENGIE est aujourd’hui, un acteur mondial de l’énergie. Ses 152 000 collaborateurs apportent chaque jour des services essentiels. Passerelle entre le monde de l’entreprise et ses différents publics, sa politique de mécénat marque une implication concrète du Groupe, illustre ses valeurs au service de l’intérêt général et témoigne de ses engagements citoyens.
