Arles, France
Located at the crossroads of the Alpilles, the Crau and the Camargue, Arles is a territory where history, culture and agriculture intersect. Today, the region stands out as a delta committed to ecological transitions and the preservation of its ecosystems. Arles and the Camargue constitute a true laboratory for thinking about responses to climate and agricultural challenges. Major actors such as the Tour du Valat, a leading research institute dedicated to the conservation of Mediterranean wetlands, and the publishing house Actes Sud, committed to disseminating major scientific and environmental debates, help make this territory a place of reflection and innovation
About LUMA Arles
Founded in 2013 by Maja Hoffmann, LUMA Arles is one of the major initiatives of the LUMA Foundation, an international foundation recognized for its support of contemporary artistic creation.
Located in Arles on a former industrial site, the Parc des Ateliers, LUMA Arles brings together eight renovated buildings and a tower designed by Frank Gehry, set within a landscaped park imagined by landscape architect Bas Smets.
An international creative campus, LUMA Arles is a place for residency, production and experimentation, where artists, scientists, thinkers and international decision-makers come together to exchange ideas and collaborate on the major cultural, social and environmental challenges of our time.
Since its creation, nearly 150 artistic initiatives — exhibitions, performing arts, conferences and research programs — have been produced and presented by LUMA Arles. Within this framework, companies can take part as partners, or by making the Parc des Ateliers a venue for meetings, engagement and visibility.
