Launch of the Maisons Pariente Prize: An Artistic Competition to Reveal Emerging Talents

The Maisons Pariente group is launching a new artistic competition aimed at celebrating and promoting the emerging art scene in France. This prize, created for the group’s fifth anniversary, symbolises the deep commitment of the Pariente family to contemporary artistic creation.

Passed down through several generations, art holds an important place in each of the Maisons. Like a patron, the Pariente family personally selects the artworks and creations

The Pariente family’s passion for art has been passed down through several generations. Each of the group’s hotels—Crillon le Brave in Provence, Lou Pinet in Saint-Tropez, Le Coucou in Méribel, and Le Grand Mazarin in the heart of the Marais district in Paris—features a rich selection of artworks, sourced from the family’s private collection or presented by renowned curators. The primary goal of this competition is to highlight the emerging French art scene and support promising talents in their creative endeavors. By providing a platform for exhibition and financial recognition, the Maisons Pariente Prize aims to shine a spotlight on up-and-coming artists.

The Prestigious Jury of the Artistic Competition

For this first edition, the candidates will be asked to imagine an original work designed to “dress a wall” with a mural on any medium, based on the theme “From real journeys to imaginary voyages, how does reality shape our dreams?”.

The jury for the Maisons Pariente Prize is composed of eight renowned personalities in the fields of art, design, and architecture:

Charles Zana, renowned architect
Amélie du Chalard, founder of the Amélie Maison d’Art gallery in Paris
Michèle Dard, director of the Camondo School
Julia Rouzaud, founder of Goodmoods
Isabelle Dubern, co-founder of The Invisible Collection
Isis Colombe-Combréas, co-founder of MilK Decoration
Kimberley Cohen and Leslie Kouhana, co-founders of Maisons Pariente

The announcement of the three winners will take place on March 21, 2025, during a cocktail evening in partnership with Taittinger, at the Parisian art gallery Amélie Maison d’Art, where their works will be presented and then exhibited.

Beyond the financial reward, the winners will gain increased visibility among both French and international audiences. The winning artist will have their work exhibited in one of the Maisons Pariente hotels, benefit from exposure on the Goodmoods partner site, and have their portrait featured in MilK Magazine.
