Art galleries Finistère

Textile creation is a little known discipline in the history of Breton industry and crafts. Embroidery was a marker of wealth throughout Breton society. Pascal Jaouen is the major actor of the revival of this art. He revisits the codes with audacity to propose sumptuous and delicate creations. The school he created is still alive after its transmission in 2021. It hosts regularly renewed exhibitions, as well as a very beautiful haberdashery.

Galerie Philippe Théallet is an art gallery located in Quimper, Brittany. Specializing in Breton art, it exhibits talented artists, both past and present, such as Mathurin Méheut, Henri Rivière, Valérie Le Roux and Olivier Lapicque. The gallery presents a variety of works, from paintings and prints to earthenware and sculptures. Particular attention is paid to Quimper ceramics. Art here is infinitely declined around Breton inspiration. Philippe Théallet, art historian and passionate researcher, will accompany you in your discovery. He is the author of the blog "Faïence de Quimper" and has contributed to numerous books and exhibition catalogs.

The Quartier des Artistes is just a stone's throw from the quays. It owes much to the involvement of sculptor Jean-Claude Le Roux, who moved to Camaret in 1992. At the time, he invited a number of his artist friends to set up shop in the former premises. Since then, these premises have been revitalized as art studios and galleries, while retaining the charm of old stones. A collective vernissage is held every year on the last Sunday in June. The association Les amis du quartier Saint-Thomas posts all upcoming events on its social networks.

The Kuuutch gallery is a creative and cultural activist. Kuutch is not only a gallery, it is also a place of solidarity, animated by volunteers. Representing more than 180 artists and collectives, this gallery represents a cultural, innovative and creative breeding ground which makes Brest proud and which allows everyone to come and rethink their interior (at interesting prices) while supporting local artists and defending the plastic arts. Don't miss this dynamism and let yourself be tempted by a work of art!
