Whether you are in Antibes or nearby, you can apply directly instead of waiting to be discovered.
Why artists from Antibes join L'Original
A gallery brings credibility, collectors and visibility. L'Original combines a physical presence in Montréal with online reach, so your work meets buyers far beyond Antibes, while keeping a fair share of every sale for the artist.
Antibes & Montréal: the same creative energy
Montréal has become one of the world capitals of street art and contemporary art, so much so it's often called artists' "new New York": a more accessible cost of living than New York or London, a busy scene (murals, festivals, galleries, artist-run centres) and collectors open to new work. Artists in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur and the surrounding area often share that same energy; joining L'Original connects your local practice to this creative hub and its collector network.
How to apply
Prepare 8 to 12 coherent works with photos, dimensions and prices, plus a short artist statement, then submit your application. Our team gets back to you, wherever you are.
Exhibit and sell beyond Antibes
Many artists in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur and the surrounding area struggle to find buyers locally alone. By joining L'Original, your work is shown in our two galleries, at 163 rue Saint-Paul Ouest (Old Montréal) and 4455 rue Saint-Denis (Plateau), and in our online shop, making it visible to collectors everywhere, shipped from Montréal to France. You keep your roots in Antibes while reaching a national market.
Artists from Antibes
Antibes has produced artists like Pablo Picasso, Nicolas de Staël and Hans Hartung, proof of a living scene. Yet getting known beyond the local market stays hard: joining L'Original connects your work to collectors in Montréal and across North America.
