For the 6th edition, Marché Biron and Marché Dauphine are teaming up again for the “One Merchant, One Artist” event.
Du April 27 to June 2, 2024, each merchant welcomes an artist of their choice to their stand: artisans, designers, stylists, painters, sculptors, photographers, musicians, etc. Of all origins, all schools and all inspirations, the artists' works and creations will take their place in the merchants' galleries, amidst their exceptional antique pieces. Encounters between antique and contemporary creations, the event is an opportunity to come and (re)discover the merchants' galleries from another angle, as well as to meet new artists.
EXHIBITIONS:
