Is’Art Galerie

Located deep within the alleyways of the vibrant Antananarivo, Is’Art Galerie is more than just a space for showcasing art; it’s a living, breathing heart of creativity. Is’Art Galerie embodies the spirit of Madagascar’s diverse artistic expressions, weaving together traditional Malagasy crafts and contemporary works. Founded in 1999 by Richard Razafindrakotot and Rafalimanana Ndremo, it’s an art gallery that doubles as an artist’s studio. The walls of this gallery vibrantly showcase the talents of local artists. The gallery is housed in the former textile dyeing factory called La Teinturerie, a historic building that adds a layer of charm and a sense of history to the contemporary art that it displays. The backyard of this former factory has been transformed into a vibrant open-air space. Step inside and you’ll discover exhibitions celebrating social issues, environmental concerns, and the cultural pride that defines the Malagasy people. It’s a place where you can lose yourself in the world of art, and come face-to-face with Madagascar’s artistic soul. Every Friday night, the air is filled with the infectious sounds of live music, adding another dimension to the gallery’s eclectic and vibrant ambiance. Is’Art Galerie is a symbol of Madagascar’s dynamic cultural scene, showcasing the country’s past, present, and future.
