In 1999, Frederico Herminio, singer and songwriter, decided to create the association "A com Art" (Aid to the COMmunication of ARTists) which has as its object the communication of artists and associations working in the field of the fight against cancer, donation of blood, organ donation, personal care and services.   In 2002, the association "A com Art" became the association Le Café des Artistes - Paris integrating in its activity the creation of a high-end coffee destined for the distribution networks of "Fine Gourmet" products among which the Galleries Lafayette. The Le Café des Artistes - Paris is a different means of communication. Since its inception in 1999, the association has campaigned for a solidarity trade considered a "Popular Patronage." Thanks to the sale of Le Café des Artistes - Paris in "Fine Gourmet" stores, the association manages its communication projects, without subsidies, with total freedom of action.

Frederico Herminio, artist singer-songwriter, created his first rock group "The Sky Scrapers" at thirteen with three college friends. He is lead guitar, they perform at clubs and MJCs.   At seventeen seduced by "R&B" from the USA with the very particular rhythms and the very percussive brass sections of James Brown, Otis Redding, Same and Dave and groups like Chicago Transit Authority and Blood Sweat and Tears, he abandons the guitar and turn to the saxophone. He takes saxophone lessons and joined the group "The Brokers" as tenor sax and baritone sax.

Offering a cup of coffee is part of the rules of good manners in terms of living together, tasting events are organized in the Department stores where the Café des Artistes Paris is referenced. As the association Le Café des Artistes Paris is a partner of numerous associations linked to humanitarian actions, the events are organized in collaboration with these associations and the presence of artists allowing the public to be more sensitized. Exhibitions are organized in Fine Gourmet stores which have an adequate space, equipped with picture rails allowing the hanging of works of artists. These events help to raise awareness of the association and its artists and create, during a coffee tasting, the ideal conditions for engaging in dialogue.
