On Friday, 20 February 2026, Beaux-Arts de Paris hosted an inter-school professional day, organised in partnership with École des Arts Décoratifs – PSL and École nationale supérieure d'art de Paris-Cergy, aimed at young graduates.
Designed as an opportunity for discussion and networking, the aim of the day was to support the transition from school to the professional world by offering practical tools and opportunities for dialogue on contemporary artistic practices.
Firstly, the presentation of production and support facilities: workshops, workshop-residences, residences, rehearsal studios for performances, etc. enabled graduates to better identify existing resources for developing their practice after leaving school.
Invited organisations : Poush, the Fiminco Foundation, Villa Belleville, Cité internationale des arts, La Ménagerie de verre, DRAC Île-de-France and the City of Paris.
The second part of the day was devoted to individual meetings between 90 graduates from the 3 schools and 27 professionals in the field of contemporary art (curators, exhibition curators, gallery owners, institution managers, art centre directors, etc.). Each graduate benefited from several 25-minute interviews, designed as opportunities for friendly discussion, networking and critical reflection, with the aim of helping them better articulate their artistic approach and refine the presentation of their portfolio.
With the support of ministère de la Culture via its Culture pro programme.
