This second edition of the Symposium Art & Philanthropy, scheduled for Friday, September 20, 2019, welcomed 500 people in the exceptional setting of the Auditorium du Louvre.

Developed with the participation of 5 students of Sciences Po within the framework of the collective projects, this event was built with the will to integrate the students in the process of global reflection, as well as in a concern of professionalisation.

Free and accessible to all, the aim of this conference was to think about the links between artistic practice and citizen action, by presenting innovative initiatives from committed actors in the world of art, academics and associations. The event brought together artists, gallerists, philosophers, journalists and association leaders among others.
