d.c.a / French association for the development of centres d’art

Founded in 1992, d.c.a is a national network that unites 49 contemporary art centres from all over France, working to increase the national and international visibility of these organisations. Contemporary art centres are dedicated to producing works and exhibitions, and mediating them by favouring a sensory experience and an understanding of the works. For over 30 years, contemporary art centres have been helping build and promote the french and international contemporary art scene.

With 1.6 million visitors (including 200,000 schoolchildren), 2,000 exhibited artists and 1,000 produced works each year, the contemporary art centres are dynamic and innovative organisations recognised in France and abroad.
