Fondation pour l'art contemporain Claudine et Jean-Marc Salomon, Contemporary art foundation in Annecy, France
The Fondation Salomon is a contemporary art institution in Annecy housed in a converted industrial building called La FabriC. The space features exhibition areas designed to display contemporary artworks in an open, functional setting.
The foundation was established in 2001 and initially operated from a castle location before moving to central Annecy in 2014. This relocation allowed the institution to expand its reach and activities in the heart of the city.
The foundation serves as a meeting point where contemporary artists and audiences encounter each other through exhibitions and discussions. It functions as a space where people can engage directly with current artistic practices and ideas.
The venue is open Wednesday through Saturday in the afternoon, making it convenient to visit during a city exploration. Its central location means you can combine a visit with other activities in Annecy without difficulty.
Beyond exhibitions, the foundation maintains a specialized library with an extensive collection of art books available for visitors to explore. It also publishes a series of literary texts that explore the work and ideas of featured artists in depth.
