The Gallery Le 56 in Nantes…

is a studio-gallery located on the ground floor of the highest building in the Cité de l’Hermitage, which rises up from the hillside of the Butte Sainte-Anne. The studio enjoys an emblematic location: just a stone’s throw from the Jules Verne Museum and under the Planetarium, the place overlooks the Loire from the quays of the Fosse to Trentemoult, facing the Hangar à Bananes and adjoining the Extraordinary Garden.

This Association, supported by a collegial artistic direction, has been opening the venue to talented and promising emerging artists since 2015. Attentive to the quality of the work and the approach taken, it is interested in different mediums, allowing it to welcome daring projects to arouse curiosity.
LE 56 takes the challenge of standing out from conventional galleries by defending a demanding and innovative, but not elitist, artistic line and thus encouraging the public to push the door. The gallery currently hosts about 4 exhibitions per year.
