Prix 100 Femmes de Culture – Getty Edition 2026: Celebrating 100 Women Shaping Culture Across France and the United States
Organized by Femmes de Culture, the Prize recognizes women artists, creators, and cultural leaders whose work shapes the cultural landscape and promotes greater visibility for women across ten disciplines.
For the first time, the Prize extended to the United States through a special Getty Edition, developed in close collaboration with the Getty in Los Angeles and with the support of Villa Albertine, the French Institute for Culture and Education. Held as part of the celebrations marking the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence, this edition highlighted the essential role of women in strengthening cultural dialogue between France and the United States.
