Originally, the bastide of Château de Servières in Marseille's 15th arrondissement was the first place in France to host a contemporary art gallery in a social centre in 1988. Since 2007, it has been housed in a municipal building in the city centre. The association is continuing and developing its project to support artists through production aid, reconfigured spaces and a programme of exhibitions of emerging and established artists from the local, national and international scene, complemented by a mediation component for audiences far removed from the cultural offer. The association initiates and co-produces 'hors-les-murs' projects: Marcel Longchamp, Arts Ephémères and Ouvertures d'Ateliers d'Artistes.

Since 2014, it has produced PAREIDOLIE, the international contemporary drawing fair, which brings drawing to our city like never before. Under its impetus, the Saison du Dessin (Drawing Season) boosts the influence of this medium across the Mediterranean arc through around thirty partners from August to December.
