L’Art Month x Le Cercle de l'Art

For one month only (March 28-April 30) I will offer you a selection of 20 oil paintings exclusively created for this Season 5 of Le Cercle de l’Art.

Accessible art, simplified acquisition : available for purchase in 12 monthly installments, these works can join your collection for just 60€ per month.

If you wish to acquire an original artwork while supporting an artistic approach you believe in, this ephemeral sale is the perfect opportunity.

 What is Le Cercle de l'Art?

Founded in 2020 by artist Margaux Derhy, Le Cercle de l’Art is a French association and artistic ecosystem dedicated to the professional and economic empowerment of emerging French-speaking women artists. It brings together selected artists each season in an intensive annual program that fosters mutual support, artistic emancipation, and community building. Through curated residencies, exhibitions, educational content, and collective exchange, Le Cercle de l’Art creates an environment where artists can grow, connect, and develop their practices with confidence and solidarity.

At its core, Le Cercle de l’Art develops innovative approaches to transforming traditional art-market models, enabling artists to build meaningful relationships with collectors while sustaining their creative work. Participation includes curated group dynamics, guidance from experienced mentors and curators, and a shared vision of advancing artistic careers in a supportive community.

For its fifth season, I am honored to have joined the project’s godmothers and invited in my group Nelly Zagury, Tamaris Borrelly, Caroline Vauvert-Valarcher, and Zineb Mezzour. This edition will culminate in an exhibition curated by Armelle Dakouo, presented at Galerie Hebert from April 9 to April 12.

What is L’Art Month?

L’Art Month is a separate initiative that builds upon the insights and methods developed through Le Cercle de l’Art but functions as its own program focused on artist-led commercial structures. It is a specialized training and methodology platform designed to help artists generate regular, recurring income by developing and nurturing direct relationships with individual collectors.

Rather than being an acquisition event, L’Art Month offers a practical, structured formation through which artists learn to build a sustainable payment-based system. Participants receive tools, strategies, administrative and legal guidance, and frameworks for organizing an annual art month where they can sell work with monthly payment options, diversify revenue streams, and strengthen long-term financial stability.

A Unique Artistic Experience

While Le Cercle de l’Art focuses on community, collective support, professional development, exhibitions, and artistic exchange, L’Art Month focuses on business methodology and financial sustainability, helping artists structure their offering and build a base of committed collectors. Together, they represent complementary but distinct pillars of contemporary artistic practice and economic empowerment.

Beyond Acquisition

Becoming involved with Le Cercle de l’Art or participating in L’Art Month is more than purchasing art, it’s a chance to :

• Engage closely with the evolution of artistic practices and communities

• Support and participate in the development of future projects and exhibitions

• Gain access to exclusive resources, events, and ongoing advantages

• Build deeper connections with contemporary art and its creators

Important Note

Le Cercle de l’Art operates on a single annual season, with artworks and participation opportunities opening once per year. Artworks will be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis, so don’t miss the opportunity to discover these new works.

Meanwhile, L’Art Month is held annually as a dedicated methodology program supporting artists in developing sustainable and recurring income models.
