The Caring Gallery is the first gallery with a social and environmental vocation. It uses contemporary art as a lever for action to create a more just and sustainable world together.
« On the most general level, we suggest that caring be viewed as a species activity that includes everything that we do to maintain, continue, and repair our ‘world’ so that we can live in it as well as possible. That world includes our bodies, our selves, and our environment, all of which we seek to interweave in a complex, life-sustaining web. » — Joan Tronto, ‘A Political Argument for an Ethic of Care’ (1993)
In the context of a major environmental challenge, and a rise in social inequality and discrimination, The Caring Gallery marks the launch of a new model on the art market, at the crossroads of art and care.
By choosing the status of mission-driven company allowed by the 2019 Pact Law, The Caring Gallery was able to integrate into its statutes a social and environmental purpose that goes beyond its profit-making goal : to make art a lever for mobilisation and action in the service of a more sustainable and just world.
The gallery creates thematic exhibitions bringing together artists with the major environmental and societal challenges of our time. Beyond the themes of its exhibitions, The Caring Gallery offers NGOs and charities the opportunity to fully integrate its economic model, by associating them with its turnover of up to 10%.
« The power of art is considerable. But it’s not enough on its own. We must act. And act now. » — Florence Manguerra, founder of The Caring Gallery.
