Support for associations

The associations work to create a network of creative professions throughout Paris. They organize numerous events for the general public and professionals alike, and are an essential anchor point.

The Office examines applications for grants from associations, provides expertise, communication support and makes numerous contacts in order to perpetuate and professionalise the actions of these associations.

Among the actions supported:

• The Forum design, mode d'emploi, organized byAPCI, aims to prepare young professionals to enter the design sector.
• The European Crafts Days organized by INMA, which aim to raise public awareness of these trades and encourage vocations through exhibitions, demonstrations and meetings.
• Fairs such as the Carrousel des métiers d'art et de création, organized by the Chambre régionale de métiers et de l'artisanat d'Île-de-France, the C-14 ceramics fair, the salon des Artistes et Artisans d'art du 11ème arrondissement and the Ateliers de Belleville open house, give Parisians the opportunity to discover the richness and diversity of the creative professions.
