Partnership IESA arts&culture x La Corvée
To offer its students a quality learning environment enriched with professional skills, IESA arts&culture continually forges partnerships.
We are therefore delighted to announce our new partner: La Corvée, a solidarity-based and artistic third place located in Paris’s 18th arrondissement.
The partnership
This is an academic and event partnership that will give students access to an exhibition space. La Corvée has a 70 m2 gallery, which will be offered to IESA students to organize 3 exhibitions during 2021 and 2022. The first exhibition, "L’ère de rien," will take place from June 9 to 30, 2022 and will be organized by student Salomé Fau as part of her final-year diploma.
The second will take place in early 2023 with Master 1 students; it will be a group exhibition on a theme resonating with the values of La Corvée.
The third exhibition, planned for June 2023, will be the result of a call for projects among IESA’s Master 2 students. The jury, made up of people from outside IESA, will select the best graduation project from the applications.

What is La Corvée?
Opened in December 2021 around a community laundromat project, La Corvée is a nonprofit association (law of 1901) located at 36 boulevard Ney, in the northeast of Paris’s 18th arrondissement. Conceived at once as a local cultural space, a public-interest organization with a nonprofit purpose and a café-canteen, La Corvée is a bubble of conviviality in the heart of a priority neighborhood. Its aim is to enable people in situations of exclusion to rebuild themselves and become independent, notably through the cultural sharing moments organized in the gallery.
We are especially proud that our students are taking part in this initiative.
The art gallery of La Corvée
The art gallery is a central point of the La Corvée project. Indeed, there are not enough exhibition venues in priority neighborhoods, and the residents of these neighborhoods are not necessarily the users of the cultural infrastructure in their area.
The La Corvée gallery therefore has several missions: to showcase young French and/or foreign creation through a rich artistic program, thus revitalizing the cultural offering of the Porte d’Aubervilliers neighborhood, and to address its local audience.

The charity raffle at La Corvée
For several months, La Corvée has been working on a crowdfunding campaign through the Ulule crowdfunding platform, with the idea of including an artistic and charitable raffle. As part of this, La Corvée mobilized 43 artists who each donated a work. These donations were gathered to create La Corvée’s inaugural Group Show, held in October 2021 in its gallery space, which marked the start of a cycle of monthly solo exhibitions by the donating artists.
By donating €100 or more on the platform, each participant will hold a raffle ticket giving them the chance to win, through a prize draw, one of the 43 works at stake. The funds raised will go toward La Corvée’s general operations, including a portion for the gallery’s future projects and ambitions.
Taking part in La Corvée’s campaign means helping keep a unique, hybrid venue alive, a protected space. It means making sure the venue can keep all its promises, to those who need it, over the long term. They already thank you!
