Logo of the GMBA, designed by André Leconte in 1929.

The Grande Masse des Beaux-Arts or Grande Masse is the association of students and alumni of the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts and Écoles Nationales Supérieures d'Architecture.

Founded as an association on 12 January 1926, it deposited its statutes eight days later and had its decree on 20 December the same year. Recognised as a utilité publique in 1932, its aim is to create and support links of solidarity between all students and former students and to improve conditions for its members.

It was a central association for student life from 1926 to 1968, organising the École des Beaux-Arts' social life. Since the suppression of the architecture section in the Beaux-Arts by decree number 68-1097 on 6 December 1968, which dealt with the provisional organisation of architecture teaching, the Grande Masse mainly includes architecture students and alumni.

The person elected to preside over the association is called Grande Massière or Grand Massier.

To symbolise the broad scope of its activities, he chose five figures of the major arts, namely (from left to right) architecture, poetry, music, painting and sculpture or according to G. W. F. Hegel's classification architecture, sculpture, painting, music and poetry.
