Introduction F O R E W O R D C O N TA C T +33 7 67 31 53 62 gontier.anaelle@gmail.com W O R K I N G L A N G U A G E S French (native) English (fluent, written & spoken) TA R G E T A R E A Basel & the tri-national region F O R E W O R D 02 Trained in cultural project management, I see every professional experience as a piece of the same collection: that of a mediator who bridges audiences, artists and institutions with equal care. From guiding international visitors through the Fragonard perfumery to coordinating events and workshops at the Centre Social et Culturel Le BOAT, I have built a hands-on understanding of what makes cultural spaces genuinely welcoming. My bachelor’s thesis examined precisely this question : how cultural institutions can adapt their mediation and programming to the many different ways audiences experience "culture". Bilingual in French and English, I am now looking to bring that same attention to Basel's museums and cultural venues, in a part-time role where guiding, mediation and coordination meet.

Cover letter T H E A R T I S T ’ S S TAT E M E N T Statement of intent T H E A R T I S T ’ S S TAT E M E N T – C O V E R L E T T E R Dear Sir or Madam, As a recent graduate of the Professional Bachelor’s Degree in Cultural Project Management (GEPSAC) from the Université de Haute-Alsace, and having completed my work-study contract as a Cultural Mediation Officer at the Le BOAT Social and Cultural Center, I am writing to enthusiastically apply for tour guide or other cultural organization roles within your institution in Basel. Having developed a strong background in public engagement, visitor relations, and cultural mediation, I am highly eager to bring my bilingual skills (French and English) to Basel’s vibrant and international cultural scene. My recent experience at Le BOAT allowed me to develop real expertise in audience relations. I organized cultural events and workshops, planned and coordinated activity programs, and managed the welcoming of both artists and participants during live performances. Guiding and supporting diverse audiences has given me strong listening skills, adaptability, and organizational rigor. Additionally, my recent academic thesis focused precisely on how cultural structures can adapt their programming and mediation to engage diverse communities. Furthermore, my previous roles at the Le Point Virgule Theater, the Department of Cultural Affairs in Cannes, and the Parfumerie Fragonard have familiarized me with a wide variety of public-facing environments. 11

As a Tour Guide and Saleswoman at the Parfumerie Fragonard in Grasse, I regularly led guided tours of the factory in both French and English for international visitors, sharing historical and technical knowledge in an engaging way. Through these experiences, I mastered crowd flow management, public speaking, ticketing systems, and customer relations, while working closely with administrative and technical teams to ensure a smooth and high-quality visitor experience. My educational background, including my Professional Bachelor's Degree and my DUT in Information and Communication, provided me with a solid foundation in project management, communication strategies, and cultural administration. Fully fluent in English, I am particularly adept at welcoming visitors from all horizons and ensuring that their experience is seamless and enriching. Whether leading guided tours, managing visitor services, or supporting cultural projects, I am highly adaptable and ready to contribute to any position where hospitality and mediation are key. Now looking to establish my professional path in the cross- border region of Basel, I would be honored to contribute to the high standards of your institution and welcome your international public. Reliable, enthusiastic, and deeply committed, I am fully available to start a new professional chapter in your team. Thank you for your time and consideration. I welcome the opportunity for an interview to discuss how my background aligns with your needs. Sincerely, Anaëlle GONTIER-HELBLING 12 T H E A R T I S T ’ S S TAT E M E N T – C O V E R L E T T E R
