The Fondation Villa Datris, located in L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, was created by Danièle Marcovici and Tristan Fourtine. It is dedicated to contemporary sculpture and aims to promote this art form by organizing thematic exhibitions. Since its opening in 2011, the foundation has welcomed over 800 artists and nearly 400,000 visitors, offering broad access to contemporary art.
Villa Datris is housed in a beautiful 19th-century Provençal residence, offering more than 500 m² of exhibition space spread over four levels. The sculpture garden along the Sorgue River adds a unique dimension to the visitor experience, allowing guests to stroll among outdoor artworks.
In 2025, the Fondation Villa Datris in L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue will present the exhibition "ENGAGÉES" from May 17 to November 2. This exhibition highlights the work of 64 women artists from around the world, addressing themes such as feminism, ecofeminism, human rights, the fight against racism, and bodily freedom. The exhibited works explore major contemporary issues and emphasize the importance of preserving hard-won rights while raising awareness of ongoing struggles.
The foundation's bookstore and boutique offer various publications, including exhibition catalogs that trace the exhibitions' journeys and form the memory of the foundation.
