KATAPULT
The Katapult Art Fund’s mission is to support art projects, organize exhibitions, and bring emerging artists into contact with influential figures from the contemporary art world.
At Lalicorn, we are dedicated art enthusiasts.
WORKs
The Katapult Art Fund aims to establish itself as a cutting-edge private fund with a robust digital strategy.
The Fund had already events and achievements to claim, but no communication strategy or identity apart from its logo and an almost empty website.
Lalicorn’s team was excited from day one by the challenge and dedicated its efforts to take the Fund to new heights.
Our first goal was to create a bold artistic direction that clearly articulates their values while securing a distinctive style that followers will spot easily in their feed.
From there we developed a comprehensive social media strategy, including the creation and animation of the Fund’s Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube channels and the production of content from their events with photos, videos and short articles.

2023 EVENT
Katapult Art Fund supported its first contemporary art festival: Ex vitro in Nantes (France) in July 2023. The event offered a series of worlds to explore, highlighting the work of visual artists, performers and musicians.
As the agency behind Katapult Art Fund, we were thrilled to produce the 20-minute documentary capturing the essence of the festival. The film delves into the artists’ creative processes, the festival’s immersive atmosphere, and the conversations sparked by the diverse artworks.

Art book
The Fund needed to showcase their works to institutional and actors in the French contemporary art field to ensure credibility and secure new funding.
Lalicorn produced a coffee table art book retracing the past 5 years of the Fund’s projects, endowments, exhibitions, and actions.
