Even if the activities of Artêria started at the beginning of 2005, the company was really born only in the spring of 2007 under its current name. Established by Geneviève Lévesque, the gallery developped quickly thanks to the invaluable co-workers of the company among whom: Christian Dorey, curator, Valérie Doucet, technician in museology at Zèle Muséo, Étienne Després, graphic designer and Pascal Couturier, director of the graphic communication company Chocolat Media for the conception of the web site.
In 2009-2010, the company participated in numerous international events some of which include the following shows:
- Art Expo NY 2009
- Affordable Art Fair New York 2009
- Shanghai Art Fair 2009
- Arteclasica Buenos Aires 2009
- Istanbul Contemporary 2009
- Tokyo Art Fair 2010
- Melbourne Art 2010
- AAFNYC 2010
During these presentations, Artêria was singled out as ‘one of our 10 favorite galleries presenting at the AAFNYC’ by the prestigious American magazine Nylon – http://www.nylonmag.com/?section=article&parid=3010
