On the occasion of the 6th anniversary of Thanks for Nothing and following the success of the previous editions of the Art & Social Commitment Week, Thanks for Nothing intensifies the project and launches: the Art & Social Commitment Month.

This month began with our Symposium at the Auditorium of the Louvre Museum. This program continues with a tour, in Paris and the Greater Paris area, of more than 50 free visits in partner galleries and institutions. The visits are aimed primarily at schoolchildren, students and nonprofits!
