LM Studio Gallery

Galerie LM Studio selects French and international contemporary artists for residencies at the heart of the Parcours des Arts in Hyères. For a minimum of one month, the artist can exhibit, experiment, work, make connections and draw inspiration, all while being on site.

LM Studio's aim is to become a key platform in the Var's artistic landscape and cultural tourism. To achieve this, the programming aims to offer exhibitions by professional artists, ensuring quality, variety and originality, while welcoming a varied public: Hyèrois, tourists, art lovers, collectors and players in the cultural fabric, with the main objective of fostering a direct relationship and dialogue with the artists of our time.

The success of this project relies heavily on the experience of its founder, Laurence Néron-Bancel, who has continued to pursue her professional and artistic activities in the contemporary cultural field in New York since 1996. Another key to success lies in the artistic and craft fabric created by the town of Hyères with the Parcours des Arts, of which LM Studio is a part and which includes the Villa Noailles and the Musée de La Banque.

Laurence Neron-Bancel has been working as a collage artist since 1995 under the name LM Collage. Nurtured by her many travels, it was in New York, where she settled for over 20 years, that she was able to develop her style. Laurence Neron Bancel also works as a tour guide at the Whitney Museum of American Art, speaking English and French. When she's not in her studio, Laurence Neron-Bancel meets other artists from all over the world, inviting them to exhibit and work at the LM Studio artist residency.
