The CPA Maurice Ravel has an art exhibition space nicknamed the Galerie Maurice Ravel. Each season, this gallery hosts several exhibitions presenting different techniques representative of current artistic creation (painting, drawing, photography, collage, printmaking, digital creation, urban art, etc.).
Through these exhibitions, we make it a point of honour to offer our audiences the chance to discover art in varied and original forms and to meet artists with diverse career paths, notably at the opening events (vernissages).
November exhibition: « Exposition Portraits de Résistantes : Mémoire et Liberté », 3 to 26 November 2026 👩🎨
Free admission exhibition, organised as part of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women
The exhibition highlights women from different countries and different eras who resisted through political action, social commitment, protecting children, passing on knowledge, or defending their territory. The common thread is not war itself but transmission, survival and humanity: how women protect, nourish, educate and defend life, often in ways other than armed violence.
Katia Odartchenko and Maria Reyes have invited the artists Maria Luisa Muller and Federica Matta for the occasion. Their work reminds us that art is also a tool of resistance and reflection.
The exhibition is supported by the Commission Culture de proximité of the Mairie du 12e arrondissement and the Embassy of the Dominican Republic in France.
A specific programme has been designed around it; do not hesitate to discover it in more detail below.
