The Fonds Fanton Collection is a future initiative that will be introduced in phases as the organization grows.

In French, fonds refers to a body of work gathered and preserved together. The Fonds Fanton Collection will bring together works by artists who contribute to the organization's evolving history, including Maison Fanton’s artists-in-residence, Galerie Fanton exhibiting artists, and friends of the organization.

Rather than remaining in storage, works from the collection will circulate through loans to schools, community spaces, and partner institutions, creating opportunities for art to be seen, experienced, and enjoyed beyond the gallery. Selected works will also be made available to collectors who share our commitment to supporting artists.

Proceeds from acquisitions will help fund future residencies, artist stipends, and free public programming. Each acquisition will contribute to sustaining the organization and creating new opportunities for artists to live, work, and create in Arles.

Works will enter the collection through agreements with participating artists, ensuring their rights are respected, their authorship is acknowledged, and their contributions remain central to the collection's development.

Further information about the collection, acquisitions, and loans will be announced as the initiative develops.
