Our history

Genesis

Contemporary art gallery

A contemporary & urban art gallery like no other

A contemporary art gallery born in 2016 in shipping containers, Galerie Le Container was originally a concept imagined by Déborah Bosseaux and Clément Dorance, contemporary art enthusiasts and professionals. Over a period of 3 years, it travelled from city to city, introducing street art to amateurs and novices alike. The interior of the containers, transformed into a contemporary art gallery, houses an exhibition of unique and original works. The outside walls of the containers are gradually covered with graffiti, tags, collages and stencils by the artists on display. Each exhibition becomes an architectural and monumental work of art in the heart of the city.
