The venue offers an extensive exhibition space, large window overlooking rue de Turenne, as well as long white walls for hanging art and visuals, and an adjustable lighting systems. Its minimalist and elegant style allows artists’ of all kind to present their works.

The 10 artists that stand out the most will have a special mention with one final winner announced. Exact dates for the exhibition at Galerie MR80 to follow.
