Les Rencontres d’Arles is now accepting applications for the 2027 Discovery Award Louis Roederer Foundation, which supports emerging art and brings visibility to new artistic practices.

The selected projects will be presented as part of the Discovery Award exhibition during the festival. Two awards will be granted—the Jury Award and the Public Award—both intended to support the acquisition of works by the winning artists. Applications must be submitted by galleries, art centres, independent spaces, and other organisations active in promoting contemporary art.

Curated by Yining He, the 2027 edition explores the theme The Generative Eye, inviting reflection on photography not merely as a representation of the world, but as an active part of the processes through which contemporary images are generated and transformed. As the curator writes, “Because the task is no longer to transcribe the world. It is to ask how the world is being generated.”

Deadline: December 8, 2026
