The jury for the Price of the young craft talents was held on April 25th. We are honoured that Caroline Martin-Rilhac, Delegate General of the Fondation Rémy Cointreau was one of the members of the jury for the second time. The Foundation, deeply attached to the valorisation of craftsmanship, is proud to support young artistic creation, a symbol of innovation and tradition.
Created in 1960 and organised by Ateliers d’Art de France, the Price of the young craft talents is an award for young talent under the age of 35. The prize recompenses excellence in creation and innovation in the field of fine crafts.
A jury composed of craft experts will be awarding the prizes on the strength of their artistic quality, technical mastery, and innovative approach. The Prize represents an extraordinary opportunity for the young craftsmen, offering them personalised support and high media visibility. A real platform for these young creators, the price helps to raise the profile of fine crafts and reveal new talents with the potential for a successful career. Many laureates have achieved national and international renown.
Discover the laureates of this 2024 edition. Each of them will receive professional support and a stand at one of the major international trade fairs organised by Ateliers d’Art de France: Révélations, Maison&Objets, Salon International du Patrimoine Culturel, etc.
