Intro
In 1981, the Galerie de l'Essor was inaugurated, a magnificent room of 150 m2 which welcomes, in a friendly atmosphere, artists from all over the world and from Switzerland.
During the economic crisis of the 1970s, the Commune of Le Chenit acquired a former watch factory vacated by Jaeger-LeCoultre. In 1981, the Galerie de l'Essor was inaugurated, a magnificent room of 150 m2 which welcomes, in a friendly atmosphere, artists from all over the world and from Switzerland.
The Vallée de Joux, the "high place" of watchmaking... In this valley of the Swiss Jura, there were, and still are... many internationally renowned watchmaking factories, talented artists and craftsmen, and a flourishing of cultural and artistic societies... A place of exhibition was needed.
An exhibition commission, made up of volunteers, looks for artists, establishes the annual program, assists in the setting up of the exhibitions, in the vernissage and ensures the promotion of the gallery. About ten exhibitions are presented each year. This commission freely chooses the artists and the exhibitions according to criteria that are not necessarily those of a private gallery. The choices can be artistic, cultural, regional, didactic, or even event-driven, artists who are not very "saleable" or not at all...
