Founded in 2014 by collector, patron and publisher Nathalie Guiot, the Brussels-based Fondation Thalie has been presenting exhibitions of both historic and emerging international artists as well as an art collection since 2018. The Foundation is committed to raising awareness of ecological issues through the arts, thanks in particular to its "Creators facing the climate emergency" meeting program, its publications and its residency (Brussels, Arles). Each exhibition supported by the Foundation demonstrates its support for contemporary creation through commissions, acquisitions and off-site satellite projects.
