Antonia Communication, traditionally a friend of the arts, is proud to provide young and talented artists with a free platform for expression, as part of a philanthropic venture dubbed the Antonia Media Lab. As part of this good-will partnership, Antonia is dedicated to helping artists get their works known and released to a business-minded audience, both online and in real life.

Since its inception, Antonia has been a friend of the arts and has traditionally worked with artists in varied media, including photography, music and movie making. As the constraints of day-to-day campaign work do not always leave full creative freedom to young and uncompromising artists, it has been a tradition for the AntoTeam to provide these talented creators with a personal experimentation space, on a philanthropic basis.

Today, these endeavors are grouped under the name of Antonia Media Lab. Open to all artists, in all media, the Antonia Media Lab aims to provide those with great ideas and talent, but lacking outlets to get their works known, with a good-will partnership. In exchange for a simple, non-exclusive license, Antonia will work with these artists towards getting their works known by its customers and clients worldwide as well as by the Internet community at large. This diffusion can take place online, notably through the Media Lab's dedicated podcasting feed, or in real life through the shipping of CDs, cards and brochures.

"Antonia kick-started its career by helping Paris' largest contemporary art center to set up a copyleft streaming web radio" says FJ, its founder. "To us, talent is not to be found into what is already acclaimed but into what is about to be and it is an honor to extend a helping hand to young artists who are striving to present their vision to the world."

The Antonia Media Lab is more than a sponsorship. By providing artists with real-world PR experience and a chance to get their works into circulation, it aims to be a genuine jumpstart platform. With no money exchanged during the process and with Antonia's open, flexible license, artists are also given formal assurance their artistic vision will be respected and their works handled with due care and respect.

Application to this philanthropic program is free for all artists in all media and all inquiries will be personally considered by the AntoTeam. To ensure full attention, only a small number of positions is available. To apply, artists only need submitting links to their works on AntoniaMediaLab.com.
