Partners

Since the outset, La ville de Paris has been right behind LE BAL, allowing it to move into a former ballroom from the Roaring Twenties. It supports  the whole of LE BAL programs, including the Fabrique du Regard's outreach activities towards young Parisians mostly from schools in underprivileged Priority Education. LE BAL has been awarded the "Art pour grandir" label.

The Ministère de l'Éducation Nationale, de la Jeunesse et des Sports assists La Fabrique du Regard in its activities: workshops, training, automnal seminars and Les Carnets du BAL.

The Direction du Numérique pour l'éducation supports the development of ERSILIA and participates in the valorisation of the platform. ERSILIA is accessible on Éduthèque, the Ministry's portal for educational, cultural and scientific resources. Since 2021, Le BAL has benefited from a FONJEP grant to develop the association's research partnerships.

The Ministry of Culture – Regional Directorate of Cultural Affairs of Île-de-France supports the artistic and cultural programming (exhibitions and events dedicated to emerging artists), the educational programs of La Fabrique du Regard, as well as Le BAL’s autumn seminar.

The Région Île-de-France has contributed to the opening LE BAL and LE BAL Books. Each year it plays an active part in the Mon œil ! program for Île-de-France high school students.

Recipient of the "Numérique inclusif, numérique en commun" (inclusive digital, digital in common) scheme in 2022 supported by the Banque des Territoires Groupe Caisse des Dépôts, LE BAL, via its educational centre La Fabrique du Regard, aims to use the image, media and information education workshops conducted with young people in the Île-de-France region to disseminate their digital and artistic creations via the ERSILIA platform (www.ersilia.fr).

Since 2010, la Préfecture de Paris has been an active player in the programs of La Fabrique du Regard and pilot projects in Paris, notably in priority development neighbourhoods.

Le centre national des Arts Plastiques (CNAP) makes an active contribution to the Fall seminar and to the Les Carnets du BAL.

La Mairie du 18e arrondissement provided a major boost to the program Mon Journal du Monde, dedicated to the mid-school students and still accompanies it each year.

836M supports the development of the artistic, cultural and educational programme of the BAL in 2022 and 2023.

The C.F.C. Centre français d’exploitation du droit de copie partners with La Fabrique du Regard for a large-scale project over three years (2021-2024). The "Pics up speak up" project includes workshops on image education and citizenship for young people and adults responsible for young people, the creation of digital educational tools and event days dedicated to education.

La TotalEnergies Foundation soutient des actions d'éducation à l'image et de formation de La Fabrique du Regard sur 3 ans dans 3 régions (Auvergne Rhônes Alpes, Hauts de France et Île de France) auprès de jeunes habitants des Quartiers Politique de la Ville. 

Arte Studio Lab has accompanied LE BAL and La Fabrique du Regard in the conception and the technical development of ERSILIA since its creation. Under Lumni, a pedagogical, cultural and scientific resources portal, LE BAL proposes an expanded access to ERSILIA designed for second cycle teachers and their students.

Since 2010, Le Cinéma des Cinéastes has hosted the « Cycle Cinéma » linked with the current exhibition at LE BAL, which enables the audience to discover a high-level selection of rare and experimental films in one of the only cinema to be equipped of a 35mm projector.
Le Cinéma des Cinéastes is also a partner of the program Mon Oeil ! of La Fabrique du Regard. Each year, projections are organized there with young people involved in the educational programmes.

Each year, l'École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales hosts the Fall seminar of LE BAL which aimed to explore the issues of contemporary images and to understand the idea of visual “document” in its whole diversity. This collaboration has prevailed since 2015 with the Rounds, organized in the heart of each exhibition at LE BAL. These Rounds use a radiophonic format in order to create a conversation between an artist and a social researcher. Theses dialogues are all about building a common thinking regarding the limits, the forms and the potential of an image based relationship to the world.

LE BAL is involved in the ImagesIN project, led by the École nationale supérieure de la photographie alongside Jeu de Paume and Les Rencontres d'Arles.

La Fémis is a partner of Mon Œil !. Each year, projections are organized there. Every year since 2017, the school hosted the restitution exhibition of works by the young students. Directors and former Fémis students regularly lead workshops of creation with the young students of La Fabrique du Regard.

Since 2018, LE BAL has been an active member of the TRAM network in order to collectively carry strong values and objectives: the networking of territories and ideas with a priority focus on the most remote audiences.
