Le Suquet des Artistes
Le Suquet des Artistes is an artist residence and contemporary art space in Cannes’s historic Suquet district. The venue occupies the former mortuary of Cannes.
Renovation turned its complex rooms into a municipal setting for contemporary plastic arts and local creative work. Small vaulted rooms shape the visitor experience.
Artists use the studios to develop projects, while exhibitions respond to the building’s unusual history and layered architecture. Painting and sculpture feature in changing contemporary exhibitions.
The space gives particular attention to figurative painting and presents new projects by emerging artists. Workshops here welcome children as well as adults.
Guided tours connect displayed works with the creative process behind each presentation. The space offers access for visitors using self-propelled wheelchairs.
The city’s contemporary art department manages the programme and supports local artists through the studios. Its unusual topography challenges every new exhibition.
Le Suquet des Artistes brings creative work into Cannes’s old town and links local practice with the city’s cultural landscape. The former mortuary now frames contemporary art.
