A creative edition

This edition brings together prestigious galleries such as Galerie Itinerrance and Wallworks, while highlighting emerging talents such as Jumble or Bonobolabo. Together, they form a dynamic showcase for the contemporary urban scene.

The fair continues to support up-and-coming artists. It positions itself as a springboard for creators and galleries, revealing new talents. Among the names expected this year are SETH, Vhils and Hendrik Czakainski, whose works will fascinate visitors.

Hôtel Drouot: between tradition and modernity

The Hôtel Drouot, a landmark of the Paris art market, offers a unique setting for this fair. This blend of historical tradition and the ephemeral art of street art creates a fascinating atmosphere. The stands become veritable living stages, transforming the exhibition into an immersive experience.

Street art: a committed art form

Urban art goes beyond aesthetics. It questions the social and environmental issues of our time. This edition explores these themes through works that question identity, collective memory and climate challenges. Artists such as Felipe Pantone and JonOne translate this reflection into their electric, hard-hitting creations.

Innovative initiatives include Renk'Art, which recycles paint fossils to make unique jewelry. These initiatives show how art can combine creativity and sustainability, reinforcing the social impact of street art.

An immersive, interactive experience

In addition to the exhibitions, District 13 offers a wide range of activities. Visitors can attend vernissages, take part in interactive workshops and talk to artists at themed conferences. These moments enrich the experience and reveal the many facets of urban art, from graffiti to collage.
