MANDATE

Les Territoires contemporary art gallery is a non-profit organisation that provides emerging artists with a rental exhibition space. By integrating emerging artist solo exhibitions with professionally curated projects, Les Territoires provides a professional context for young artists to integrate into the art market. With the objective of achieving national and international recognition from artists and curators in the world of contemporary art, Les Territoires supports the presentation of various local art events, festivals and projects presented by professional curators.

Programmed by a selection committee, the primary objective of Les Territoires exhibition space is to promote and disseminate the work of selected exhibiting artists. The gallery invests in the success of art exhibitions by providing the design of an electronic invitation as well its circulation through the gallery's comprehensive mailing list which includes other nationally recognized art institutions.
