Belvès

Galleries, Studios & Creative Spaces

Art in Belvès isn't confined to a single gallery.

Part of the pleasure is discovering it while exploring the village itself.

Behind historic façades and along its medieval streets, galleries, ateliers and creative spaces offer opportunities to see original work, meet artists and discover pieces created here in the Périgord.

Some are permanent spaces; others host changing exhibitions and collaborations throughout the year.

Take your time. Step inside.

You may leave Belvès carrying home something rather more personal than a souvenir.

Art in an Unexpected Setting

There is something particularly compelling about encountering contemporary art within a medieval village.

Belvès is known for its seven bell towers, golden stone and centuries of history — yet behind that historic character is a living village that continues to create.

Old walls meet new ideas.

Traditional craftsmanship sits alongside contemporary painting.

And artists continue to reinterpret the landscapes, memories and experiences of the Dordogne in entirely individual ways.
