ABOUT OUR MISSION

Created in 2024 by sculptor Prune Nourry and Claude Grunitzky, the Catharsis Arts Foundation is dedicated to amplifying voices through the production and circulation of collaborative projects. Its programs enable art to have a long term, positive social impact.

VISION

We envision a world where art serves as a catalyst for change and collective healing. We aim to become a platform that amplifies diverse voices, fosters understanding, and creates lasting virtuous circles.

VALUES 

• Art can recreate balance.  
  In a deeply unbalanced world, we believe art has the power to restore equilibrium. It is more than a creative act—it is a medium through which change and collective healing can be realized.
  
• Collaborating is Creating.
  Collaboration lies at the heart of creation. By bringing together artisans, students, and communities, we encourage shared learning, mutual respect, and the development of creativity.
  
• Acting for the Long Term.
  In a world that too often conflates speed and progress, where culture is consumed immediately and in hyper-abundance, we believe in exploring slowness and transformation in the long-term.
  
• Diverse voices are essential.
  Diversity of thought and experience isn’t merely beneficial—it’s an imperative. We champion diverse perspectives, cultivate meaningful dialogue, and actively work to bridge divides, recognizing that true progress demands both representation and a commitment to collective growth.
