The Académie des beaux-arts pursues patronage activities in order to fulfill its missions of supporting creation.

L'Académie des beaux-arts, so called since 1816, is one of the five academies which form the Institut de France, also made up of the Académie française, Académie des Sciences, Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres and Académie des Sciences morales et politiques.

A descendant of the royal academies established in the 17th century, it is today, like the other academies, endowed with a special status which allows it to administer itself freely.

In order to fulfill its missions* of supporting creation, the Académie des beaux-arts pursues patronage action in diversified forms in France and abroad: granting numerous prizes to beginner or established artists, organization of competitions , financing of artistic residencies, allocation of aid to artistic projects, events or associations. In the service of this vocation, it manages its heritage consisting of donations and legacies and administers its important museum heritage composed in particular of the Marmottan Monet Museum (Paris) and the Marmottan Library (Boulogne), the House and gardens of Claude Monet (Giverny), the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild (Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat), the Villa les Pinsons (Chars), the Maison-atelier Lurçat (Paris) and the Galerie Vivienne (Paris) of which she is co-owner. It also maintains an active policy of partnerships with a large network of cultural institutions and patrons.

A consultative body for public authorities, the Académie des beaux-arts also conducts reflection on artistic issues during its weekly sessions during which it invites personalities from the cultural world to speak on very diverse subjects.

Built around the idea of ​​multidisciplinarity, the Académie des beaux-arts brings together sixty-seven members spread across nine artistic sections, sixteen foreign associate members (elected from among foreign artists or personalities contributing through their action to promote artistic creation in the world) and sixty-seven correspondents (French or foreign personalities assisting the Academy in its work).

* “Contribute to the defense and illustration of the artistic heritage of France, as well as to its development, while respecting the pluralism of expressions”, thus the vocation of the Academy is defined in its statutes.
