Galerie Guillaume is an art gallery at 32 rue de Penthièvre in the 8th arrondissement of Paris that can be hired privately for cocktails, conferences, private dinners, wine tastings, concerts, pop-up stores and photo or video shoots. It holds up to 100 guests standing. The gallery sits between Avenue Matignon and Faubourg Saint-Honoré, close to the Champs-Élysées.
Seminars and company events
The gallery offers 110 square meters over two levels. The ground floor has a light wood floor, a ceiling height of 3.5 meters and two large street-facing windows. The basement has an old paved floor, an exposed stone wall and skylights. A stone staircase with a Venetian-style banister links the two levels. An office, a kitchen and restrooms complete the space.
For a conference, the ground floor can be set with a projector and 80 chairs, and the blinds can be lowered for privacy. A cocktail can follow in the basement. For after-work events, year-end parties and farewell receptions, buffets can be spread over both levels, for up to 100 guests standing from 7 p.m. The gallery also offers a seminar and team-building format.
Rooms and capacities
The gallery is offered with bare walls, without a current exhibition hung. Capacity depends on the format. A cocktail or a pop-up store holds up to 100 guests standing. A conference seats up to 80 and a wine tasting holds up to 80 guests. A private concert or a staged reading or play seats up to 60. A private dinner in the basement seats up to 25 guests.
The gallery can be taken for a day as a pop-up store, or for a week during fashion weeks. It also suits photo shoots and filming, with custom hanging of the gallery's artworks or bare walls as the client prefers.
Catering
Guests bring their own caterer. The kitchen and the small office at the back of the basement are made available so that the caterer can prepare service calmly. Buffets, petits fours trays for tastings and dinner service can be organised in this way.
History and setting
The gallery presents exhibitions of contemporary artists from Tuesday to Saturday, from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m., and offers private hire alongside. Events happen in a real exhibition space, which suits brands, publishers, wine producers and companies that want art as a backdrop.
Getting there
The gallery is 150 meters from Miromesnil metro station, on lines 9 and 13, and close to the Champs-Élysées and Avenue Matignon.
