"Water, Air, and Art": Frédéric Jousset Publishes His First Book

To celebrate the release of his book *L’eau, l’air et l’art* (Water, Air, and Art), published by Gallimard, Frédéric Jousset invites you to join him at our partner cultural venues for a series of talks and book-signing sessions. Check out the upcoming dates and join us for a conversation with the founder of Art Explora!

In *Water, Air, and Art*, published on October 8, 2026, Frédéric Jousset looks back on his journey and the experiences that led him to change the course of his life and devote himself fully to ensuring that everyone has access to art and culture.

This conviction led to the creation of the Art Explora Foundation, which he founded in 2019. For the past seven years, the foundation has been launching a wide range of initiatives to reach out to the public and share the arts and culture with as many people as possible. This commitment has already reached more than 900,000 beneficiaries.

All royalties from the book will be donated to the Art Explora Foundation.
