A retrospective of the year 2025 at la Galerie du 19M

This year has been punctuated by highlights celebrating creation, the transmission of skills, and dialogue between savoir-faire and artists:

A new edition of Mains d’avenir, les journées des Métiers d’art du 19M, and the monumental Ornementa workshop, extended and adapted for l’Été Ornementa, allowed the public to immerse themselves fully in the savoir-faire and techniques of the Métiers d’art.

The exhibition Trouver son Monde invited everyone to explore their own creative territory. And finally, there was an off-site project with la Galerie du 19M Tokyo, which took the spirit of le19M to new horizons.

A new programme will take place in 2026.

From 7 to 9 February, le19M presented the third edition of Mains d’avenir, two days dedicated to discovering the Métiers d’art of fashion and decoration.

From 13 March to 25 May 2025, la Galerie du 19M presented Ornementa, an immersive and participatory experience inviting visitors of all ages to discover le19M’s savoir-faire through workshops and to go behind the scenes of contemporary creation and the Métiers d’art. Subsequently, in a revamped summer edition, la Galerie du 19M reopened the doors of Ornementa from 27 June to 20 July for l’Été Ornementa.

During these special days, six resident Maisons d’art at le19M—Lemarié, Atelier Montex, Maison Michel, Goossens, Massaro, and Lesage—open the doors to their workshops. le19M’s participation in the European Artistic Crafts Days is a unique opportunity to discover the richness and diversity of the artistic crafts, to meet passionate artisans, and to be introduced to their expertise.

To mark the 42nd European Heritage Days on the theme of architectural heritage, le19M exceptionally opened its doors to the public with a unique tour exploring its craftsmanship, architecture, and cultural spaces. The tour began with the exclusive opening of the workshops.

From 17 September to 14 December 2025, la Galerie du 19M presented Trouver son monde, a group exhibition dedicated to contemporary creation and the Métiers d’art, exploring the theme of transmission.
