Patrons are participants of myth making, becoming part of the story that outlives them. The Yvette Agency is devoted to this enduring romance—building the future of culture, artist by artist, idea by idea—by bringing together those who create with those who recognise the profound act of enabling creation.

Through the building of Fondation La Madeleine, our signature residency Fabrica Femina has developed into a growing international network linking artists, institutions, publishers, curators, and music industry professionals across France, Germany, Italy, and beyond.

This initiative reflects Melissa’s broader philosophy that culture is sustained not only through individual talent, but through carefully nurtured communities, interdisciplinary collaboration, and patronage structures that allow ambitious artistic work to flourish over time.

We have developed a European initiative dedicated to supporting women in music, poetry, and multidisciplinary creation through residencies, performances, talks, and international cultural exchange.

Developed with curator and performing artist Cleo T. and powered by Fondation La Madeleine, the project creates spaces where artists can collaborate outside the pressures of commercial production cycles, bringing together composers, performers, poets, and cultural professionals within an atmosphere of experimentation, dialogue, and collective authorship. Hosted at Studio La Madeleine in the French countryside and extended through events across Europe, Fabrica Femina positions culture not simply as presentation, but as community-building and long-term artistic ecology.

Within the project, Melissa contributes to production, artist coordination, hospitality, and the wider cultivation of an environment designed to foster meaningful creative connection.
