THE SPIRIT Founded in 2015 and directed by Marie-Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre, Spirit Now London is a philanthropic community of art patrons and collectors with all funds donated to cultural institutions and the support of young artists. . Spirit Now London gives the opportunity to meet with exceptional personalities from gives the keys to artists' studios, unlock the world of museum directors, philosophers, writers, scientists... with intimate conversations in private homes or venues. By invitation only, it is a private and international circle of benefactors, collectors, and friends. Spirit Now London is also invited for trips around Europe to art fairs, private foundations, and collectors' private home in a very intimate way. Since the beginning in 2015, we are invited, regularly, to Arco Madrid, Art Paris, the Venice Biennale, and much more. THE SPIRIT OF GIVING As a group, Spirit Now London is also supporting some cultural institutions (Hayward Gallery, Palais de Tokyo, Musée d'art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, Chisenhale, etc...) We are willing to propose to each member of the group to commission an artist work for an exhibition, a project to sponsor together. In 2018, we were invited to pre-commissioned artworks from Tomàs Saraceno for his important exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo. THE SPIRIT OF EDUCATION In January 2020, we were delighted to launch an educational program on the theme 'The Great Collectors - The History Of Collecting' with Art Historian Henry Little. Conceived as an engaging, panoramic tour of the great collectors from art history, the series will unravel the evolution of public and private collections. THE SPIRIT OF SCIENCE We also inaugurated for 2020 a selection of discussions with experts in science. Our themes for the year are how to understand the enigmas around the brain, genetics and ageing.
