CULTUR FOUNDRY

Frédéric Lorin, a financial lawyer, is a collector and patron of artistic associations and foundations in France and abroad. In June 2020, he founded CulturFoundry, a philanthropic association that brings together collectors wishing to promote and support the contemporary creation of resident artists. Over the past four years, more than 85 artists have been exhibited. Giving more visibility to artists who are not necessarily represented by a gallery, showcasing them differently through the collector’s perspective, enabling them to continue creating and producing so that they remain witnesses of our time, strengthening their careers at a pivotal moment—these are some of CulturFoundry’s objectives. To achieve this, CulturFoundry designs and fully produces contemporary art exhibitions in various venues in the Île-de-France region, while also organizing artistic meetings and cultural events in studios, art centers, residencies, and contemporary art fairs.
