Contemporary Art Walking Tours in Marseille
Marseille is one of the rare cities where the city and shore are so tightly intertwined that you can observe the rock face plunge, and the land disappear and flatten out in a long turquoise horizon. These dramatic seascapes have begun to attract more and more artists and galleries that have set up shop right on the coast.
As an artist and poet based in Marseille, and I have both an in depth knowledge of the contemporary and performing arts scene here, but I'm also an active part of of it. My unique perspective on Marseille's arts and culture, both past and present, gives visitors a unique window into the city's rich and vibrant landscapes. We'll explore the city's costal galleries, wander down narrow streets, and admire pespectives framed by rocky shores, sun dappled stones, and the artist's touch.
