Art Paris 2026

The Art Paris 2026 fair returns to the Grand Palais, a jewel of Belle Époque architecture, from 9 to 12 April 2026. After its triumphant return in 2025, the fair continues to establish itself as the leading spring event for modern and contemporary art. With around 170 galleries from France and abroad, Art Paris balances regional identity with cosmopolitan diversity, reflecting Paris’s ongoing artistic renaissance.

Two major themes will guide the 2026 edition. The first, “Babel – Art and Language in France” curated by Loïc Le Gall, explores the fertile intersections of language and creativity in French art. The second, “Reparation” curated by Alexia Fabre, addresses contemporary issues of healing, justice, and cultural repair. These thematic frameworks will be accompanied by a catalogue presenting the work of each selected artist, helping visitors navigate the fair with deeper context.

Beyond the thematic exhibitions, Art Paris will also highlight young galleries through the “Promises” sector, monographic presentations in “Solo Show”, and French design and decorative arts in “French Design Art Edition.” Together, these sections provide a comprehensive view of the art ecosystem, from emerging talent to established masters.
