Where to Shop: Support Young Artistic Creation at 100% L’EXPO

This week, instead of filling your probably bursting wardrobes, we advise you to decorate your shelves with works by freshly graduated artists. Every spring, La Grande Halle de la Villette transforms into a dynamic stage dedicated to young artistic creation with 100% L’EXPO. Until April 23, 2024, around fifty artists recently graduated from six art schools gather in this 3,500 m² space. This sixth edition is neither a traditional contemporary art fair nor a thematic exhibition but rather a lively celebration of the diversity and vitality of the new French artistic wave. By collaborating with institutions such as the Beaux-Arts de Marseille – INSEAMM, and other prestigious schools, La Villette facilitates an essential transition between the academic world and the professional field of contemporary art.
