But why?
?
For 50 years, Verte Fontaine has been transforming encounters
in acts of creation.
In 2026, we will open writing residencies in Barjols and Marseille, providing havens for LGBTQIA+ authors.
in a situation of disability.
One way to combat the exclusion of artists who simultaneously suffer homophobia and ableism.
50
Opening residences in the south of France so that LGBTQIA+ authors with disabilities can transform their stories into sensitive archives of the world is what comes naturally after 50 years of service.
13
For 50 years, from Marseille to Liège, we have been creating places (13 to date) of freedom and celebration so that culture remains a peaceful and irreverent force.
2026
With 'Allo Allo James', our 2026 obsession will be to break the isolation linked to Parkinson's and to invent together a more inclusive, joyful and supportive environment.
Writing Residencies
We will not only "house" LGBTQIA+ authors with disabilities, we will cultivate encounters there!
Your donation is the "fuel" for this wonderful adventure: Accommodation, food and hot coffee to create serenely, accessibility and comfort, conviviality and good humor.
Not forgetting the life of the neighborhood or village , the laughter on the street corner, and the encounters in bookstores.
We need you!
