FIAC Projects
Launched in 2016, FIAC Projects showcases an exhibition of artworks in the exceptional setting of the Petit Palais and on the Avenue Winston Churchill which will be transformed into a pedestrian zone for the duration of FIAC.
This year, Marc-Olivier Wahler (Director of the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University) is FIAC Project’s guest curator.
FIAC Hors les Murs
FIAC reaffirms its strong cultural mission through the Hors Les Murs programme. A program of artworks—unrivalled in scope in the landscape of international art fairs—will be presented in emblematic Parisian sites: in the Jardin des Tuileries, the Musée National Eugène Delacroix, and on the Place Vendôme.
