In order to lead an active policy of dissemination and circulation of artworks and artists, the Minister of Culture and Communication (public art commission) and Culturesfrance have jointly launched the programme "Publics/Publiques" to support the dissemination of contemporary public art collections overseas.
It's aim? To make French creations from recent decades better known, and to promote living french arists or establishments in France, in the diversity of their practices.
