THE EXHIBITION OF THE SALON “ART CAPITAL” 2015
Under the glass roof of the Grand Palais, Art Capital brings together more than two thousand French and foreign artists, emerging or established, exhibiting paintings, sculptures, drawings, photographs, and other artwork, making Paris the heart of contemporary creation through the federation of several renowned salons, which emphasize their differences to better complement each other. A true incubator of new talent, Art Capital is also the scene of privileged exchanges between all actors in the world of contemporary art. Art Capital wants to be open, free, united and didactic.
The show brings together more than 40 000 visitors each year and is established for ten years as a major event of the French art scene. This year’s four iconic lounges offer all visitors, be they actors of the art world, gallery owners, collectors, professionals or the public, a course in contemporary art. They also offer a meeting with artists and their creations.
At the Salon des Artistes Independants, we discover the work of independent artists, who are not represented by galleries. The Salon of Drawing and Watercolor exhibits several foreign delegations which present their works, publicize their work and cause exciting exchanges between painters and sculptors: Belarus, Japan, Korea, Spain, Sweden, China and Canada. For their part, the Comparison Salon highlights 28 groups corresponding to just as many sensibilities and tendencies in contemporary art. The public appreciates these styles, techniques and procedures. The Society of French Artists, open to all French and foreign artists, regularly admits over 650 international artists that are reviewed by a jury which awards medals and private prizes.
In short, there is more than enough reason to meet with artists and discover their work!

Once again the Nave of the Grand Palais is to host “Art Capital’. For 6 days, you can discover the work of 2,500 artists (painters, sculptors, photographers, architects, engravers and so on…) at this great art fair. Open to the general public since 2006, the fair brings together artists from all different backgrounds and has become a reference point for the promotion of the current art scene. Art Capital strengthens links between the general public, the artists and the galleries.
Many different fairs are held as part of this event, including the Drawing and Water Painting Fair which presents works in pastel, charcoal, pencil, watercolour and even silk paper sculptures. The annual Independent Artists’ Fair is a showcase for contemporary art. Also present is the Society of French Artists which will be celebrating its 226th edition this year. They will be presenting a historic exhibition, created by Colbert in the 17th century. The society has presented remarkable works such as the Statue of Liberty by Bartholdi. Art Capital is a key event in the art world this autumn.
