OHZHO: Art in Service of Harmony and Contemporary Creation

An Association at the Crossroads of Cultures and Disciplines

Founded in France under the 1901 law, the association OHZHO stands out as a unique player on the international art scene. Its name, borrowed from the Navajo concept of "Hózhó", immediately reveals an ambition: to promote contemporary art through the prism of balance, beauty, and connection between all living elements.

The Hózhó Philosophy: An Ethical and Artistic Foundation

Hózhó, a term from Diné (Navajo) culture, conveys a holistic vision where the following intertwine:

• The harmony of the universe and the world

• Humanity's place in the great cycle of life

• The nature of time and space

• Creation, growth, and movement

• Order, control, and natural rhythms

This philosophy guides every action of the association: art is not merely aesthetic; it is transformational, capable of weaving connections, enriching perspectives, and metamorphosing both physical and mental spaces.

Our Mission: Bringing Visual Talent to Light

OHZHO is exclusively dedicated to the international promotion of visual artists and contemporary art creators. Our approach rests on three pillars:

Pillar Concrete Actions

Visibility Exhibitions, artist residencies, cultural events

Support Workshops, mentoring, network development

Financial Support Fundraising through the organization of exhibitions and artistic events

A Living Ecosystem: Creators, Professionals, and Enthusiasts

Beyond mere exhibition, OHZHO fosters exchanges between:

Artists seeking new audiences

Art professionals (collectors, gallerists, curators)

Enthusiasts eager to discover singular creations

Our mission is to highlight the richness and diversity of contemporary artistic creation by providing artists with a space for visibility and expression. 

We support them in their journey by organizing exhibitions, residencies, workshops, and cultural events, fund raising by using art exhibition & events  , while fostering exchanges between creators, art professionals, and art enthusiasts.

Since its founding, our association has been guided by the concept of "Hózhó" in its vision and actions:

The Navajo concept of balance and beauty, considering the nature of the universe, the world, humanity, the nature of time and space, creation, growth, movement, order, control, and the cycle of life.

We believe in the power of art to create connections, enrich perspectives, and transform spaces. Through our actions, we aim to enable each artist to meet their audience, showcase their work, and expand their network, both locally and abroad.

Our goal? 

To enable each artist to meet their audience, showcase their work, and expand their network — both locally and internationally.
