Although the activities of Artêria began in early 2005, the company was only truly born under its current name in 2007. Established by Geneviève Lévesque, the gallery developed quickly thanks to the invaluable collaborators of the company, among whom are Christian Dorey, curator, Burcu Özge Ünal, coordinator, Valérie Doucet, technician in museology, and Pascal Couturier, director of the graphic communication company Chocolat Media for the conception of the website.
Since 2009, the company participated in numerous international events, including the following shows:
During these presentations, Artêria was singled out as “one of our 10 favorite galleries presenting at the AAFNYC” by the prestigious American magazine Nylon
These shows have also enabled us to place our artists in galleries around the world, namely with our partners in Argentina, Turkey, and China.
Stemming from its success in overseas markets, Artêria received numerous prizes for the development of the company in 2009:
