THE RENCONTRES D’ARLES AWARDS 2020
In solidarity with the artists, the festival and its partners have rallied together to ensure that the 2020 awards can go forward as planned. Following the cancelation of the 51st festival, the four awards, traditionally given at the Théâtre Antique in Arles during opening week, were to be exhibited and handed out at the headquarters of Kering, a main partner of the Rencontres d’Arles, in November in Paris.
Following the French government’s latest announcements, we must regretfully cancel the Rencontres d’Arles award exhibitions.
More than ever, we must support the artists. Despite everything, we would like to announce the winners and present all our awards in November.
