Market of creators and artists in the heart of Saint-Nicolas
Le Hameau des Artistes is a creators' market held annually in late November at the MJC Lillebonne in Nancy, as part of the Saint-Nicolas festivities. For three days, the MJC hosts over 25 creators in various disciplines: screen printing, ceramics, textile art, basketry, typography, photography, and illustration. Visitors discover original works, participate in free workshops, and enjoy concerts in a warm atmosphere. Admission is free.
Over the years, Le Hameau des Artistes has established itself as a must-attend event on the Nancy creative scene. Born from a desire to highlight the work of local and regional artists and artisans, this event transforms the MJC Lillebonne — one of the iconic cultural venues in Nancy's historic center — into a true creators' village for a weekend in late November.
Each edition brings together more than 25 artists and artisans selected for the quality and originality of their work. The represented disciplines are remarkably diverse: screen printing, ceramics, textile art, basketry, artisanal typography, photography, drawing, illustration, jewelry, bookbinding, engraving, and many more. Visitors can discover unique pieces, meet the creators, understand their techniques, and acquire original works, ideal for year-end gifts.
Le Hameau des Artistes is more than just a market: it's a true cultural and festive experience. Free workshops allow the public to get acquainted with the techniques of the present artists. Concerts punctuate the evenings of Friday and Saturday in an intimate atmosphere. A bar and light catering are available, creating a convivial space where artists and visitors can meet in the warmth of the venue.
Le Hameau des Artistes traditionally takes place on the last weekend of November, naturally fitting into the Saint-Nicolas festivities that illuminate Nancy each year. It offers an original and authentic alternative to traditional Christmas markets, highlighting contemporary artisanal creation with a spirit of proximity and sharing.
The 9th edition of Le Hameau des Artistes will be held in late November 2026 at the MJC Lillebonne in Nancy. Three days of creators' market, free workshops, and concerts as part of the Saint-Nicolas festivities.
