Société des Artistes Français

The Société des Artistes Français (French pronunciation: [sɔsjete dez‿aʁtist(ə) fʁɑ̃sɛ], meaning "Society of French Artists") is the association of French painters and sculptors established in 1881. Its annual exhibition is called the "Salon des artistes français" (not to be confused with the better-known Salon, established in 1667).

When the Société was established, it associated all the French artists. Its president was a painter and its vice-president a sculptor. The main task of the Société is to organize the Salon, since the French government ceased to do it.
