Mayeur Projects Information

Founded in 2015 by French collector and entrepreneur Christian Mayeur, Mayeur Projects is a contemporary art gallery and a creative company, based in Las Vegas New Mexico and supporting emerging as well as established artists. Privileging art that is above all an experience, our aim is to create a context of encounters between artist and viewer, the real and the imaginary, the global and the local, the social and the environmental, the concerns of tomorrow and the concerns of today. We organize contemporary art shows and residencies, artistic & creative expeditions and creative seminars for collectors and entrepreneurs, to open their look, mind, spirit and imagination. We are part of the Design Thinking and Slow Art movements. One main reason of our installation in Las Vegas New Mexico is the proximity of New Mexico Highlands University campus and its Visual and Performing Arts and Media Arts & Technology Departments. We signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the College of Arts and Sciences, which provide studios and equipment to our residents. While remaining engaged with the global art scene, Mayeur Projects is dedicated to its connection with the community of Las Vegas, New Mexico. We are proud to be part of the revival of the city, rich with resources and potential, and look to foster an atmosphere of conviviality and connection with our artists, collectors and art lovers, but also with innovative businesses, research centers and companies of New Mexico, in connection with the global art community. A true city of the Old West situated 60 miles from Santa Fe, Las Vegas New Mexico was an important stop on the railroad line between Los Angeles and Chicago, making it at one time the most important city in New Mexico. The Mayeur Projects building at 200-202 Plaza Park is one of the 900 historic buildings in Las Vegas. We are honored to have restored this incredible building, a renovation that was awarded in 2016 by Las Vegas Committee for Historic Preservation.
