Values

Openness

At PRIM, we are committed to welcoming our members’ projects with flexibility and curiosity. Artists, collaborators and partners from all backgrounds and disciplines are welcome. We believe that it is important to learn from each other’s experiences and to be open to their different realities, approaches and working methods, while having fun.

Engagement

We are passionate about the work of our members, collaborators and partners and we want to use our professionalism, expertise and rigor to help them throughout their creative process.

We want to play a positive role in our community, to ensure a presence and involvement in all spheres of our ecosystem.

Within the team, our employees are committed to constantly improve their work methods, to help each other and to remain united in the search for solutions.

Creativity

When it comes to meeting the needs of our members and partners, we encourage original, bold and creative solutions. Our decisions are made with a collaborative and proactive approach. In all circumstances, we think about improving and renewing our ways of doing things and our service offering.

Sharing

Passing on our knowledge and heritage is part of our organization’s DNA. We encourage exchanges, a sense of belonging and collaboration in order to enhance the expertise of the team, its members and peers. It is also important for us to bring together and involve our partners and collaborators in the life of the organization through exchange and sharing events.
