The famous Gaming-Casino Discotheque “La SIESTA” offers an art space for artists from the Region…
Throughout the year, the “La Siesta” Casino in Antibes is a must-visit place for celebrations and leisure on the French Riviera.
In addition to its main activities of gaming – 180 Slot machines, Blackjack, Stud-Poker, and English Roulette – it offers the Flamingo restaurant, its Discolounge and finally, its open-air nightclub.
But La Siesta is also a place of discovery!
Since the beginning of the year, La Siesta, in collaboration with the Ambre International association, has been focusing on painting and hosting various regional artists in its cozy and convivial gaming lounge. A new artist can be discovered every season.
The gaming lounge is open 355 days a year, from 9 PM to 5 AM.
Access is free upon presentation of an identity document.
“Whether you like or dislike the works presented, everyone finds something for themselves and embraces this new concept,” Mr. Jean-Baptiste LANFRANCHI, Director of Marketing and Communication, is delighted with this initiative that brings a breath of fresh air to his establishment.
Currently, this space features an exhibition by the artist Laure MARTIN. A member of the Ambre International association, and a student of the renowned artist-painter Pierre FONFERRIER, she works on large formats and most often creates life-sized portraits.
She enhances the light with very realistic subjects on abstract backgrounds, and as a shepherdess, draws inspiration from her contemporaries living in her valley. She attempts to reveal the beauty in each of them. She is at the origin of the creation of an association “the artists of Jabron” which brings together more than twenty visual artists from this valley.
Ambre International develops free art spaces.
Since establishing its headquarters in 2002 in Sophia Antipolis, Ambre International – whose aim is to promote its contemporary painter and sculptor members – has been developing free Art spaces in the Alpes-Maritimes and Var to help artists exhibit. The selected locations allow artists to reach a new clientele in this Art-business movement. More information: www.ambre-international.com.
“To make people dream in a dream place where the artist is truly showcased and seen by hundreds of people, that is our fight to help promote contemporary art in our department,” said Mr. Jean-Christophe MESSINA, President of Ambre International.
