In the cobbled streets of the old town, on sun-drenched squares or in confidential studios, Vence's art galleries reveal a wide variety of styles, techniques and worlds. Abstract art, contemporary figurative art, photography, art brut or ceramics by the artist... Each space is an invitation to discovery, encounter and emotion.

Some galleries showcase local talent, while others present international artists or thematic exhibitions, in keeping with the region's exceptional cultural heritage, marked by Matisse, Dubuffet, Chagall and Dufy.

Among the experiences not to be missed, visitors can :
- Stroll from gallery to gallery in the old town, at the bend of a square or a workshop
- Discover original and sometimes exclusive works of art in an intimate setting
- Interact with the gallery owners and artists present, who are often available to share their passion with you
- Attend art openings, conferences and performances organized throughout the year
- Round off their visit with a visit to Chapelle du Rosaire, Matisse's colorful spiritual masterpiece.

A place of constant inspiration, Vence embodies the artistic spirit of the Côte d'Azur, a blend of tradition, innovation and Mediterranean sensibility.
