One of the interesting features of the movement known as Art Nouveau is that it occurred at time of great interest in 'socialism' (in its broadest 19th century sense as a contrast term to 'individualism'). As a result, alongside the creation of individual artists and traditional ataliers (artists workshops) in Art Nouveau, there was a substantial formation of other civil society organizations - specialized production units, movements, groups, clubs, networks, alliances and many other types of organized activity quite unlike anything else in art history. Here is a partial list of some of those organizations, garnered from a variety of publications on art history. (A similar list has been prepared for the Arts and Crafts movement which saw a similar -- and to some degree overlapping -- burst of organization during roughly the same time period.

This catalog will include the city/location, founder, mission, foundation and terminal dates, and citations for each organization.
