The “Banc d’essai” gallery-boutique offers a unique opportunity for craft artists to market elements of their research work in conjunction with an exhibition at the centre, and for the public to acquire unique pieces or small series by renowned artists.

The project for a gallery-boutique was implemented with the aim of developing the self-financing capacity of the MATERIA center.
