This afternoon I met with Sophie Renaud, Director for artistic exchanges and co-operation with Culturesfrance. CULTURESFRANCE is the agency of both the ministry of Foreign Affairs and the ministry of Culture and Communications that is responsible for promoting French culture throughout the world and international cultural exchanges. It was created in 2006 as a result of the fusion between AFAA (the French association for artistic action) and the ADFP (association for the dissemination of French thought). It works on a daily basis in collaboration with other French and foreign partners in the private and public sector, at city or regional levels in France or Europe. They have also developed cultural partnerships in the United States with Chicago and New York. It would be a wonderful concept for Atlanta to have this same cultural synergy.
