Artivista is a non-profit association created in july 2017
Driven by social and educational ambitions, Artivista organizes street art exchanges involving established muralists from two countries and their populations.
In partnership with cities and local organisations, we offer artists from around the world the opportunity to transform spaces that are often not suited for creative expression : disadvantaged neighborhoods or areas undergoing renovation, hospitals, schools… Artivista wishes to offer everyone, without distinctions, the opportunity to transform their environment through artistic gesture and vision.
Our goals
To share the diversity of our different cultures through educational and civic actions
To improve and embellish in a sustainable way the communal spaces of disadvantaged neighorhoods
Support emerging artists and facilitate access to art through workshops
Involve young people in a project to rehabilitate their neighborhoods and encourage them to participate in the life of their community.

Claire, after a career as an art director in the press and communication industry, decided to create a traveling gallery in 2013, as she was convinced that contemporary art must go out to meet the public. In 2017, she decided to give a new dimension to her projects by adding a social aspect to her work and founded the association Artivista.
