Who are we ?

Created in 1999, the Saif is one of the youngest artists’ societies in France. It stemed from artists’ wish to collectively defend their rights. The Saif is a civil society whose mission is to defend, collect and distribute visual artists’ rights. Today the Saif represents more than 7,000 artists in all kinds of visual arts: architects, designers, photographers, cartoonists, illustrators, graphic designers, painters, plasticians, sculptors… Over 4,600 of these artists are photographers.

Why support the La Gacilly Photo Festival?

The Saif also plays an important part in artistic and cultural variety in France. That is why we are happy to support the La Gacilly Photo Festival. The Festival’s commitment as well as its wish to promote contemporary photographic creation match the Saif’s promise to fight to make artists’ voices heard ever since it was created.

Our common values

The Saif is receptive to the La Gacilly Photo Festival’s values that the Festival has been defending for nearly 20 years. We are particularly sensitive to its focus on the great environmental issues in our society and the solutions proposed and presented through contemporary photographers’ eyes - photographers who prefigure the world of tomorrow.
