Founded in 2014, the Thalie Foundation is a private patronage initiative launched by Nathalie Guiot, a former publisher, art collector, environmentalist, and philanthropist. Through an art collection, a public program of exhibitions, artist residencies, and patronage in the fields of visual arts and ecological thinking, the foundation has been committed to contemporary creation for a decade.
In 2025, the foundation will continue its work, focusing on three areas:
- DESIGN AND INNOVATION Dissemination and production of bio-sourced design with the launch of the ALEOR DESIGN gallery and consulting office.
- ART AND CULTURE: Promotion of an art collection featuring more than 300 artists, with a focus on women artists, craftsmanship, and emerging scenes from global majorities.
- ECOLOGY: Inspiring younger generations through artists, researchers and scientists, sharing knowledge and forming coalitions for a more sustainable world; listen to our podcasts here or on Spotify. Send us your projects at info@fondationthalie.org
The Story of a Contemporary Art Collection
Thalie Collection
Defending women artists, ecological narratives and craftsmanship
Starting in 2008, the collection has grown organically and intuitively through encounters and projects with the Foundation, with the desire to sustain artistic practices that incorporate an ecological sensibility. The collection aims to support the voice of women artists, while also maintaining an emphasis on works that exhibit exceptional craftsmanship, both ancestral and contemporary.
