Our Friends and Partners
Our Association could not succeed without the help of several friendly and partner organizations. Their support is invaluable to us, as they provide financial resources, advice, sometimes collaborations, or simply moral support because they share our goal of developing the arts for everyone. A thousand thanks to them!
The Antananarivo Urban Community is helping us by providing this unique location on Ambatovinaky Hill and a parking area. They are also our administrative partner for obtaining the necessary permits for the our Social Art Center’s (Maison Sociale des Arts) projects.
The French Embassy in Antananarivo has given us a grant for the HOSOTRA Visual Arts Festival in 2024. And in 2021/2022, a significant donation to complete the construction of the Social House of Arts – La Colline and the renovation of the René Dupuis Analakely hall for holding art classes and exhibitions.
The Marcq-Madagascar Association in Marcq-en-Baroeul, France, funded the development of the Maison Sociale des Arts – La Colline until its launch. It continues to support our cultural and educational initiatives through funding and guidance. Marcq-Madagascar also exhibits and sells works by our member artists during their Oyster Festival to benefit our Association.
The “H” Foundation, the prestigious Malagasy foundation for contemporary art, is a leading institution in contemporary African art. We are very honored that they co-organized the conference “The HOSOTRA Festival from 1997 to 2024” as part of the HOSOTRA 2024 festival.
Together with the Graines de Bitume Association, since 2023 we have been organizing social art workshops for the disadvantaged children they support. These visual arts workshops promote the artistic and social development of these children.
The Rotary clubs of the cities of Lille Vauban in France and Seraing in Belgium made significant donations to us for the start of our Social House of Arts.
TELMA is our official telecom service provider for the Maison Sociale des Arts – La Colline. They provided us with fiber optic internet and two telephones, allowing us to communicate our activities to the public.
