Selection committee

Artists selection

The documentary collection represents more than a hundred artists to date. The commitment of the team in an editorial work with each artist allows the realization of ten new files per year and twenty updates on average. The website concerns professional artists, visual artists or designers, living and working in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. Their production must be sufficiently committed for a thorough documentation to be devoted to them.

Selection committee

Once a year, a selection committee is invited to determine the artists who will integrate the site the following year. This jury, renewed each year by part, is composed of various professionals of the art (artists, curators, managers of places of diffusion, institutionals, collectors, critics...) which contribute to building the quality and diversity of the documentary collection.

The last committee was held in March 2024, in the presence of the following jury members:

  • Paul de Sorbier, in charge of Maison Salvan, town of Labège

  • Émilie d'Ornano, curator, critic and director of KOMMET, Lyon

  • Marie DuPasquier, curator and co-director of Documents d'artistes Geneva, Zürich

  • Jan Kopp, artist and teacher, Lyon

  • Sylvianne Lathuilière, Cultural Programme Officer, Musée d'art contemporain de Lyon

  • Emma Legrand, Director of Culture and Heritage of the City of Saint-Gervais

  • Gaëlle Petit, project manager, heritage and visual arts department of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region

The DDA-AuRA 2025 call for applications has been closed since 25 February. The next call will be open to visual artists and designers living in the region in 2026.

Application conditions

  • Living and working in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes;
  • Carry out a professional artistic activity;
