Gallifet
In 2010, Nicolas Mazet was given the opportunity to transform a former family residence into a space dedicated to contemporary art, in the very heart of Aix-en-Provence. Gallifet was thus born, with the mission of forging connections and broadening our view of the world through the works of contemporary artists. Convinced that these artists are among the most relevant voices to speak about our time, he created a place where everyone can explore and rediscover the world around us from a new perspective. Each year, the six main exhibition rooms and the garden welcome around 40,000 visitors, offering them a rich and diverse selection of contemporary talent.
In Aix-en-Provence, this art centre stands out for the diversity of artistic expressions it presents. Throughout the seasons, exhibitions across a wide range of media are on show, alongside a lively programme of talks, mediation activities and workshops open to all. From June to October each year, the “Gallifet Kitchen” restaurant sets up under the shade of century-old trees in the 500 m² garden.
