The art market in French Polynesia   

The art market in French Polynesia is steeped in the island spirit and rich artistic tradition of the region. Traditional techniques such as wood carving, weaving and banana bark painting coexist harmoniously with contemporary forms of artistic expression. Handicraft markets, art galleries and cultural festivals are dynamic platforms where artists can exhibit and sell their unique creations, enabling visitors to discover the diversity of Polynesian art, while contributing to the preservation and promotion of this precious cultural heritage. There are collectors on the island who often buy from galleries but face difficulties in reselling their possessions in the event of an inheritance, a move or any other change that may occur.
