Galerie Eva Vautier

Contemporary art Emerging artists Committed curator
About

Located in the heart of the Antiquaires district, the Galerie Eva Vautier has established itself as an essential place to follow the news of contemporary creation in Nice. With a demanding curatorial line, the gallery represents about thirty artists, most of them emerging, with particular attention to the local and Mediterranean scene. Eva Vautier is recognized for her curious eye and her commitment to supporting artists over the long term.

The program explores the most current practices (painting, sculpture, installation, video, performance) with a committed perspective and a desire to provoke reflection. The exhibition 'Merci, mais non merci' brought together about thirty artists around the notions of refusal and commitment, with works by Ben, Natacha Lesueur, Nicolas Daubanes, and many others. Exhibitions follow one another at the rate of one per month, offering a constant flow of discoveries.

Atmosphere: Dynamic and professional. Openings attract a crowd of amateurs and collectors. The bright and sober space perfectly highlights the works. It's the ideal place to find the gem of a future big name in art.

Prices: Free admission. Works available for sale.

Visitor reviews

Positive points: Contemporary art lovers appreciate the quality of Eva Vautier's curatorial eye, which allows them to discover promising emerging artists before they are known to the general public. The gallery's commitment to the local and Mediterranean scene is praised, as is the diversity of the mediums represented. The welcome is professional and warm, and exchanges with the gallerist enrich the visit. Openings are privileged moments to meet the artists.

Points for improvement: Some occasional visitors may find the curatorial approach demanding and the works sometimes difficult to access without mediation. The small size of the space limits the number of works presented simultaneously. Opening hours, mainly in the afternoons on weekdays, are not always suitable for tourists.
