Location

Art By Friends is located at 14 Avenue du Rhône, 74000 Annecy, along a bustling avenue in the northern part of the city near the Rhône River canal. This street-art focused gallery and café occupies a spot in a lively commercial stretch, surrounded by local shops, restaurants, and easy parking options.​ Nearby, the area connects seamlessly to Annecy's "La Virée" urban art trail, which the gallery helped pioneer, featuring murals and street art pieces scattered through adjacent streets. Visitors can walk to the Thiou Canal bridges and green spaces within minutes, or head slightly south toward the old town's markets and Lake Annecy promenades about 15 minutes away on foot.​
