Art africain in Nice

Nice offers 43 spaces to explore, with rare concentration in the Mediterranean. To guide your visit, start by determining the discipline that interests you. Contemporary art and multi-specialty galleries form the heart of the offering: places like Gravis Art Galerie and Alex Doll Galerie NICE in the center, or Melkart Gallery for more inventive displays. If you're looking for local or figurative painting, several Old Nice galleries offer works by regional artists. For photography or design, a handful of specialized brands meet these expectations. The directory entries indicate for each gallery the specialty, location and, when available, visitor ratings and reviews.

Nice's galleries are distributed mainly between two sectors. The city center (06000) brings together the majority of addresses, with galleries established around Place Masséna, Old Nice and the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MAMAC). This is where you'll find brands like Gravis Art Galerie, Alex Doll Galerie NICE or Galerie Sakura. The eastern sector of Nice (06300), less well-known but well-represented, has about twenty addresses including Melkart Gallery — one of the best-rated in the city. Old Nice, with its Baroque alleys and ochre facades, offers a unique setting for several galleries specializing in local and Mediterranean art.

Nice's 43 galleries cover a wide spectrum of disciplines. Contemporary art and multi-specialty galleries dominate the offering, together representing two-thirds of the addresses. Painting, in all its forms, is well-represented with a particular focus on the colorist traditions inherited from the Nice School and Matisse. Photography is present with a few specialized galleries. Design and decorative arts complete the panorama with several brands that mix unique pieces and limited editions. Each directory entry specifies the specialty, address and neighborhood, allowing you to quickly target your search.
