Isn’t it intriguing how art spaces can transform a simple street? We are standing before Espace Exposition GT. It is a gem in Marseille’s art scene.
Espace Exposition GT opened its doors in October 2013. But its story began earlier. It evolved from Galerie Tangente aux Puces. An association managed that gallery from 2009 to 2013.
Since its inception, Espace Exposition GT has focused on individual exhibitions. Sometimes, they feature a small number of artists perhaps two or three. The gallery also hosts a collective exhibition at the end of each year. This involves around 80 to 150 artists. That’s quite a vibrant gathering.
The gallery is located at 70-72 rue de la Joliette, 13002 Marseille. Want to visit? You can easily reach it via Metro M2 Joliette or Tram T2 République Dames.
