Organizer Information:

Paris Internationale. A collegial initiative established in 2015 as an innovative alternative to traditional art fairs, designed to support a new generation of galleries and promote emerging/rediscovered artists.

Title & Description:

Applications are open for the 12th Edition of Paris Internationale.

Known for its nomadism and rediscovery of Paris’s architectural heritage, the 2026 edition will take place in a new, soon-to-be-announced venue in the heart of Paris. The physical fair will also be accompanied by a concurrent online edition. The selection committee seeks engaged gallerists who put artists at the center and question what it means to be a gallerist today.
