The gallery owner will open a new space at Chevalier Roze with an international program. She will also launch her association "You should be an Artist" (YsbaA) to promote social and economic transformation via the strengthening of artistic and artisanal practices in the countries of the South.
She will inaugurate the new gallery with a monographic exhibition by Sébastien Reuzé (born in 1970, and who lives and works in Brussels).

  • Wilfrid Almendra workshop

Wilfrid Almendra is a Franco-Portuguese artist born in 1972 who lives and works in Marseille. He created Adelaide for Rue du Chevalier Roze.

  • South Way

The Marseille-based duo of art historians and curators Charlotte Cosson & Emmanuelle Luciani are setting up their studio in Rue du Chevalier Roze: it will be both the offices of CODE South Way (a committed magazine for young artists that provides a first opportunity to publish their work and receive constructive criticism) and an exhibition space. They are inaugurating their program by giving carte blanche to Julia Marchand.

Rue du Chevalier Roze will contribute to the development of Marseille's cultural life prior to the opening of Manifesta 13, the European contemporary art biennial which will be held in Marseille in 2020.
The opening of Chevalier Roze, on Saturday, August 26, 2017, is part of a program of events to inaugurate the contemporary art season which includes the ART-O-RAMA fair, the Paréidolie drawing show and multiple exhibition openings in Marseille.

ANF Immobilier's sponsorship reflects the Group's desire to revitalize Marseille's Rue de la République historical neighborhood by attracting companies, stores and cultural events such as the Musée du Savon (Soap Museum; open to the public in 2018), the offices of the MP2018 Association, the Nosco gallery ("La République de la rue" exhibition), the a-part festival (created by Leila Voight in 2010), Julien Creuzet's monographic exhibition (curated by Cédric Aurelle) and more.
Ghislaine Seguin, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of ANF Immobilier, declared: "ANF Immobilier views the economic revitalization of the city from a global perspective: it gives absolute priority to cultural and recreational offerings near offices, which give life to neighborhoods and attract customers outside of working hours. With the Chevalier Roze artistic hub, ANF Immobilier intends to renew the appeal of Marseille's République neighborhood. "
