American Center for art and culture

About

The American center for art and culture’s ( formerly Mona Bismarck Foundation) mission is to act as the showcase for 20th and 21st century American art and culture in Paris, and is the only institution of its kind in France. It honors the vision of its American founder, Mona Bismarck, by encouraging intercultural and transatlantic artistic exchanges. Housed in a splendid 19th century private mansion bordering the Seine, the Mona Bismarck American Center seeks to present contemporary American culture in Europe by offering a diverse and multidisciplinary program of exhibitions, events, performances, artist talks, colloquia and artists residencies. The American Center for Art and Culture is Paris’ only non-profit venue entirely dedicated to the presentation of American creation and culture – thereby reinforcing the long-lasting Franco-American relation and emphasizing the United States’ international presence.
