The LVMH group continues to show its commitment to educating and training young people by stimulating their interest in the great painters.

Every year the LVMH Young Artists' Award pays tribute to a major exhibition sponsored by the Group: Nicolas Poussin in 1994-1995, Paul Cézanne in 1995-1996, Picasso in 1998-1999, "Chardin and Fauvism" in 1999-2000, "Méditerranée, from Courbet to Matisse" in 2000-2001, Jean Dubuffet in 2001-2002, Matisse et Picasso in 2002-2003, Gauguin - Tahiti "The Workshop of the Tropics" in 2003-2004, "Celestial Mountains - Treasures of China" in 2004, "Impressionist Treasures from France's National Collections" in 2004-2005, "Klimt, Schiele, Moser, Kokoschka, Vienna 1900" in 2005-2006, "Yves Klein: Body, Color, Immaterial" in 2006-2007, "L’atelier d’Alberto Giacometti" in 2007-2008, et "Picasso and the Masters" in 2008-2009.

Each year the jury of the LVMH Young Artists' Award selects six winners among the entrants. The French prize-winners receive a 4 270 € scholarship plus a round trip ticket to carry on their studies in the country of their choice. Foreign prize-winners get the same grant plus a return ticket to Paris allowing them to spend several months at a French art school such as the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts (ENSBA).

Since its launch in 1994 the LVMH Young Artists' Award has enabled over 80 French and foreign students to complete their training abroad. Today a great number of those award winners are making a promising artistic career.

From 1997 onwards the LVMH Young Artist Award has benefited from the dynamic collaboration of the "Le Pont Neuf" Association whose President is Mrs Jacques Chirac. This collaboration enables students from art schools in Eastern Europe to attend a course at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
