Through the Discovery Award at the Rencontres d’Arles Photography Festival, the Revelation Prize at the Semaine de la Critique of Cannes Film Festival, as well as its carte blanche collaboration with Le Fresnoy, the Louis Roederer Foundation actively fosters the emergence of talented artists.

The Foundation also engages in the viticultural domains of the Roederer Collection by initiating cultural actions specific to each site. To perfect its commitment to the arts, the Louis Roederer Foundation is building its own collection of works by emerging and established artists, whether represented or not, and offers carte blanche collaborations in various artistic fields.
