Paris Collage Collective<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Paris, France<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HISTORY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Paris Collage Collective was founded in 2018 by Petra Zehner who shares her experience of the group:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI founded PCC myself and am running it alone except for occasional on\/off help from a handful of people. The participation in both weekly challenges and open calls is very high. During the height of confinement, we had up to 500 weekly collage submissions for the challenge alone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere is, as of today, no official membership and I\u2019m not sure that\u2019s going to change. The idea is to encourage creative expression in general, no matter the background or skill level of each person. No pressure. No obligations. No judgement. As a result, the community is very diverse, from housewives and grandmothers to art and design professionals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MISSION<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Paris Collage Collective wants to connect both local and global artists on a more personal level than what is possible on social media platforms alone. Through collaborations and creative projects they want to help build meaningful connections between like-minded people that go further than likes and shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe believe in mutual respect and support and giving credit where credit is due. Always! We believe in diversity and openness. We value authenticity. We believe in creativity as a journey and learning with and from each other.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
