Created in 2012 by bringing together the former French Cultural Centres (CCF), the Institut Français d’Algérie is the main platform for dialogue between France and Algeria in the fields of culture and knowledge. It is both a centre for cultural dissemination and an institution in charge of cooperation projects between the two countries. Its main missions are organising cultural events as well as cooperation with Algerian public institutions and civil society players in the cultural, academic, educational, linguistic and associative fields.

The Institut français d’Algérie is based in Algiers. It has a general management team and five branches in Algiers, Annaba, Constantine, Oran and Tlemcen. Each of the five branches offers French language courses, welcomes and supports students wishing to pursue higher education in France, organises cultural events, film screenings, workshops and masterclasses, and offers the services of a media library.

Founded by American artist and philanthropist Jerome Hill (1905-1972), the Camargo Foundation fosters creativity, research and experimentation through its international residency program for artists, scholars and thinkers.

Since 1971, Camargo has hosted nearly 1,500 people in residence working in the arts, humanities and social sciences from around the world. Located in Cassis, on the Mediterranean coast, the Foundation offers time and space in a quality environment to think, create and exchange.

Born in 1992 as a prototype of what is now called “Third Places”, new cultural and urban models, La Friche brings together in a unique and reinvented place, urban transformation, artistic permanence, link to the territory and active cooperation in the general interest.

La Friche la Belle de Mai was born out of the former Seita factory and is now a place of creation and innovation. It is both a working space for its 70 resident structures (350 artists, producers, and employees who work there every day) and a place for dissemination (600 public artistic proposals per year, from workshops for young people to the biggest festivals). With nearly 450,000 visitors per year, La Friche la Belle de Mai is a multiple public space of 45,000 m2 where 5 performance and concert halls, shared gardens, artist residencies, a playground and sports area, a restaurant, a bookstore, a daycare center, 2400 m2 of exhibition space, a roof terrace of 8000 m2, and a training center are located.

Triangle – Astérides is a contemporary art center of national interest, established since its foundation in 1994 within the cultural cooperative Friche la Belle de Mai, a former tobacco factory in Marseille which it has co-founded.

Triangle-Astérides articulates a demanding program of exhibitions (monographs, duos, and collective exhibitions) with research and experimentation residencies of French and international artists, workshops with artistic and curatorial accompaniment (associate artists and Ateliers de la Ville de Marseille), to which are added events, editorial projects, and careful work carried out with all the public.

Triangle-Astérides has inherited international networks (with the Triangle Network, which was at the origin of its creation and of which it remains a member structure while operating independently), as well as national and local ones (through the merger, in 2018, of Triangle France and Astérides). Connecting these different scales is at the heart of all its activities.

Fræme, a resident association of the Friche Belle de Mai since 2001, invents, develops, and implements systems for the production and dissemination of contemporary art. By articulating its activities around two dynamics, the professional career of artists and the exploration of different modalities of encountering works of art with the public, Fræme initiates numerous experiments carried out with artists and the public, as many projects in which creation is inscribed as a vector of individual and collective expression.

The association works on the production of exhibitions, events, and works, on a national and international scale, and is also involved with local and regional art scenes. It is also a major player in the art market with the international contemporary art fair Art-o-rama. Fræme offers support to artists through a multi-partner residency program and the publication of monographic books. For many years, Fræme has also been actively promoting cultural rights and has developed a wide range of mediation projects and cultural activities for all.
