The Partnerships – a long-term commitment
Since its creation in 1991, the supportive activities of the Fondation Nestlé pour l’Art have been based on maintaining a lively dialogue; initiatives aimed at promoting regular encounters with artists, authors of new projects and people from various artistic sectors; careful evaluation of the needs of the rapidly developing artistic scene; as well as the periodic questioning of the various areas of intervention in the realm of the visual arts, music and the living arts.
The objective of establishing partnerships in 2005 was to offer beneficiaries favourable working conditions over the longer term, but equally the possibility of belonging to a cross-disciplinary network which in the best-case scenario gives access to worlds that are ignored or at least little known.
In our view, the organisation of regular meetings with the various partners of the Foundation, bringing together other stakeholders in the world of art and culture, as well as the general public which is the end recipient of creations, represents added value to the financial support for artists’ projects and enables us to optimise our own work.
Entirely in harmony with these values, the Fondation Nestlé pour l’Art is a longstanding partner of the Prix de Lausanne and the Contemporary Dance Prize which it has been sponsoring since this award was created.

“YOU LIVE BECAUSE YOU DANCE, YOU LIVE AS LONG AS YOU DANCE“
Nureyev had long since foreseen what would become of his goods and his memory after the last curtain fall. Bearing the name of “The Ballet Promotion Foundation” he had established his first foundation in 1975. The first beneficiaries were to be his family in the USSR, but the foundation’s mission was also to support dancers, dance companies, dance schools and the organisation of performances.
In 1994, the foundation was renamed “The Rudolf Nureyev Foundation” with the same general objectives, and the addition of others specified by Nureyev before he died. These included the attribution of grants to promising young dancers to support their studies for one year and his strong wish to support the dancer’s health.
The ”Rudolf Nureyev Foundation” brings its support to a large variety of organizations in the areas of teaching, production, promotion and medical research.
The final project remained to be carried out and this will be done in 2013 when the “Lieu de Mémoire” opens at the Centre National du Costume de Scène in Moulins – France.
We are happy and proud to support the Prix de Lausanne and all the talented young dancers!
