The gallery
Since 1989, Galerie Papillon is esteemed for its cutting-edge program that brings together French and foreign artists - both emerging, established and mid-career - sharing a common sense of poetry and irony. The gallery offers them a vast playground in its 250 m2 main space sur cour, while its second space on the first floor is dedicated to spotlight presentations or more exclusive invitations.
By joining forces, Marion and Claudine Papillon give Galerie Papillon its identity: two generations who collaborate together while complementing each other and sharing the same unchanging values and vision: to offer artists an environment of freedom so that they can give free rein to their creativity.
