À première vue is back this summer and is giving the galleries in Saint-Germain-des-Prés free rein to display the works of young artists who have graduated from Beaux-Arts de Paris in their shop windows.
This sixth edition will take place from 2 July to 29 August 2026, organised by Beaux-Arts de Paris, the Jeudi des Beaux-Arts association and the Comité Professionnel des Galeries d’Art (CPGA). The aim of the event is to forge an initial link between young artists from Beaux-Arts de Paris and the art galleries located in the same neighbourhood. Free and open to all, day and night, ‘À première vue’ offers a journey of discovery and a glimpse into emerging art: photography, drawing, painting, sculpture…
