Île de Ré
Located in the port of Saint-Martin-de-Ré, in a listed and preserved setting, the PromenArts gallery opened its doors in 2009. This is our second gallery after the one in Sydney, and it remains one of the most emblematic in our network. Nestled in the heart of this historic village, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the gallery enjoys an exceptional location, nestled between sea light and ancient stones.
With its 250 m² of exhibition space and its vast terrace opening directly onto the port, this place offers a unique setting to host monumental works, installations or large contemporary canvases.
Saint-Martin-de-Ré is also a prime cultural destination, attracting art lovers, collectors, and visitors from all over Europe each year. The gallery plays an active role, animating the local artistic scene with regularly updated exhibitions featuring renowned artists and promising young talents.
| OUR VALUES |
The PromenArts spirit
At PromenArts, we defend a vibrant and committed vision of art, based on encounter, trust, and longevity. We believe that art is not reserved for an elite, but rather a universal language, capable of touching everyone and revealing emotions, stories, and positions. Far from the effects of fashion, our vision is nourished by a sincere aesthetic requirement, inherited from our journey as collectors. It is this intimate passion, built work after work, that guides our choices and our daily commitment.
Supporting young talent is one of the pillars of our approach. We invest in their early careers by funding the creation of works, organizing exhibitions, and offering them concrete visibility in renowned venues. This active support allows these artists to establish their work over time while building a relationship of mutual trust.
We are also committed to supporting those who wish to acquire a work of art, whether they are experienced collectors or novices. Each acquisition project is unique: it may respond to an emotion, a desire to pass on knowledge, a heritage choice, or a simple desire for beauty. Our role is to listen, advise, and explain, so that each work finds its place in a personal story.

Contemporary signatures
The richness of PromenArts lies above all in the artists we choose to represent. Painters, sculptors, photographers, and visual artists embody unique visions of the world, both deeply rooted and resolutely contemporary. Some are already recognized on the international art scene, while others are young talents we have identified and supported over the long term. This dialogue between generations, styles, and approaches nourishes the identity of our galleries and invites a constantly renewed discovery.
We seek neither superficial effects nor passing trends. What guides us is the authenticity of a gesture, the strength of a visual style, the coherence of a work in its evolution. Each artist is followed closely: we discuss their approach in depth and build a relationship with them based on respect, listening, and trust. This strong bond is reflected in the quality of the exhibitions we organize and in the enthusiasm of the collectors who follow us.
Through our selection, we aim to offer visitors a journey through the contemporary artistic landscape, where each work tells a story, questions our times or simply celebrates the power of the gaze.

| SHOP |
Because art must remain accessible, regardless of location or time, we have developed an online gallery designed as a true extension of our physical spaces. On our site, visitors can discover a rigorous selection of works available for purchase, with ease and transparency. Each piece presented is accompanied by a detailed profile, carefully curated visuals, and information about the artist and their approach, to enable an immersive and informed experience, even remotely.
Buying a work online from PromenArts means benefiting from the same high standards, advice, and personalized support as you would in a gallery. We remain available to discuss, guide, or further your acquisition process, whether by phone, video, or email. Shipping is secure, handled by professionals in the packaging and transportation of artworks, both in France and internationally. This online service doesn't replace the experience of encountering the work; it simply makes it possible everywhere, for everyone.
