For over a decade, Galerie Hugues Charbonneau has built a reputation for curating ambitious, forward-thinking exhibitions that cut across disciplines and media. More than just a venue, it’s a launchpad—its artists have gone on to show at major events like the Venice Biennale, Dak’Art, Sharjah, SITE Santa Fe, and the Toronto Biennial. The gallery doesn’t just represent artists; it advocates for them, facilitating their presence in museum shows, international fairs, and biennials. While its reach is global, the team remains deeply invested in local talent, with a keen eye for identifying emerging voices in contemporary art. Its programming reflects this dual focus: rigorous and research-driven, but always rooted in curiosity and cultural urgency. Whether you’re encountering an early-career artist or one already established on the international circuit, the gallery offers work that invites reflection, conversation, and critical engagement.
