A unique creators' market
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.
Over 25 artists in various disciplines
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.
Workshops, concerts, and conviviality
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.
