Contemporary Art events upcoming in Paris
Becoming more diverse and exciting every year, the Grand Marché d'Art Contemporain de Bastille is a colossal art market which takes place in the Place de la Bastille. Around 500 French and international artists present their work from October 30th to November 3rd. It’s an opportunity to meet talented contemporary artists and view their creative endeavours in a relaxed and convivial atmosphere. There is no middle man, so the works sell at studio prices and there is something for all budgets. Don’t miss the photography, drawing and etching space located on the boulevard Bastille.
Prior to this, to whet your appetite for making a purchase or two, FIAC takes place from October 23rd to 26th in the gorgeous setting of the Grand Palais. The Foir Internationale d’Art Contemporain will offer more than 150 exhibitors from over 25 countries coming together to present their work in an electric atmosphere. Since 1974 this show has garnered a magnificent reputation as one of the world’s leading contemporary and modern art events. Lectures, film screenings, outdoor displays and the announcement of the winner of the Prix Marcel Duchamp are just some of the many delights FIAC will have in store for you.
