These initiatives are the latest addition to Mennour’s wideranging publishing policy, which over the last twenty years has included reference works, essays and catalogues that have always underpinned Mennour’s vision of promoting and sharing art with a broad public.
Bourse Mennour / Phd Grants
Each year, a jury of eminent academics award two grants of € 5,000 each to two PhD students to support them in developing their projects. These grants are designed to support, for example, a research phase in France or abroad, the writing phase or to enable the publication of the thesis.
Research topics can cover all fields related to the history of artistic creation from the late 19th century to the present day, the history of exhibitions and the art market, as well as issues relating to artistic circulation, exchange, and transfer on a global scale.
Mennour sponsors the Eugène Carrière Prize, awarded by the Académie française to two art-history books on the visual arts up to the 21st century. The two prizes are officially announced at the annual public session of the Académie Française in Paris.
