L'Imagin'ART'orium

In the heart of La Ciotat’s historic centre, at 8 Rue des Combattants, ImaginARTorium is much more than just a gallery or a studio: it is a place of creativity, sharing and emotion, where art comes to life in all its forms. Founded by the painter and designer Élise Mahiet, this unique space invites every visitor to step into a singular world, enriched by contrasts, materials, colours and the imagination. Part artist’s studio, part exhibition gallery, part creative shop and part meeting place, the ImaginARTorium offers an immersive and authentic artistic experience. Every work tells a story, every creation conveys an emotion, and every object is conceived as a meeting between art and humanity. Here you’ll discover original paintings, handcrafted creations, unique decorative pieces, as well as the world of the local brand LC Original, inspired by the spirit of La Ciotat and Mediterranean identity. The ImaginARTorium is also a vibrant space where creativity is shared through art workshops for both children and adults. Whether you’re an established artist, a curious amateur or simply looking for a moment to escape the hustle and bustle, everyone can explore their creative side in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The workshops, creative birthday parties and events held on site transform this place into a true artistic haven in the heart of the town. And Addikt by e. rounds off its offering by providing K-pop, K-drama and Korea fans with a space for enthusiasts, created by an enthusiast herself – the painter and designer Élise Mahiet – dedicated to all things Korean: unique, bespoke customisations… Well worth a visit! Set in a charming pedestrianised street, the ImaginARTorium perfectly reflects the spirit of La Ciotat: authentic, inspiring and deeply human. It is a space where you can take the time to discover, exchange ideas, feel and create. Every visit becomes a unique experience, driven by a passion for art, a love of detail and a desire to convey sincere emotions.
