FAB Paris 2025 at the Grand Palais: key dates confirmed

FAB Paris 2025 returns to the renovated Grand Palais from September 20 to 24 with nearly 100 international galleries. Concerts, exhibitions and nocturnes will enliven this edition, whose guest of honor is the Musée Nissim de Camondo. The organizers are banking on bold scenography and hybrid programs to attract art lovers and collectors alike.

A flagship edition for the new artistic season in Paris

FAB Paris 2025 is one of the major international fairs. Nearly a hundred galleries will be exhibiting works ranging from classical art to contemporary creations. The fair is expected to be a key event in the European art market this autumn.

The setting of the Grand Palais, freshly renovated for the 2024 Olympics, will lend a unique dimension to this event. Visitors will be able to discover a staging by designer Constance Guisset, designed to highlight the diversity of the works.

Paris thus confirms its central role in the art market, reinforcing its international appeal. A cultural outing can also be accompanied by ideas from the What to do in Paris section to enrich your stay.

A prestigious guest: the Nissim de Camondo Museum

This year, the Musée Nissim de Camondo is in the spotlight. It will present a selection of 18th-century masterpieces, illustrating the excellence of French decorative arts. Its presence underlines the importance of heritage transmission at the heart of the event.

For connoisseurs and neophytes alike, this showcase represents a unique opportunity to admire pieces rarely seen outside the museum. The initiative reinforces the prestige of FAB Paris as a crossroads between antiques, design and contemporary art.

In this way, the organizers aim to highlight the wealth of French collections and integrate them into an international dialogue. This spotlight on the decorative arts illustrates the current market trend to combine heritage and contemporary creation.

Opening hours, evening events and musical programming

The FAB Paris 2025 program promises to be dense, with a daily opening and two nocturnes scheduled for September 22 and 23. These extended evenings will offer art lovers the chance to appreciate the works in a more intimate atmosphere.

A concert, organized on September 20 by the Fondation Gautier Capuçon, will inaugurate the fair. Other musical events will punctuate the event, reinforcing its hybrid identity between exhibition and cultural experience.

Daily guided tours will give visitors a unique insight into the selection of galleries. With a varied ticket offer, including reduced and student rates, the event aims to attract a wide audience.

To extend the evening, the public can also turn to cult addresses on the Paris scene such as the Matignon, recently mentioned at Paris Design Week.

A metamorphosed Grand Palais

The renovation of the Grand Palais after the 2024 Olympic Games now offers an optimized space for hosting major events. The building combines modernity and heritage, reinforcing its status as an emblematic venue.

The scenography designed by Constance Guisset establishes a subtle dialogue between the architecture and the works on display. This immersive device allows visitors to move around freely and highlights the international galleries.

The choice of this location embodies our determination to make Paris a cultural capital of reference, capable of competing with London, Basel or Miami.

Art market trends and prospects

FAB Paris organizers are also banking on young talent. A special area will be dedicated to creations priced under €25,000, enabling emerging collectors to acquire unique pieces.

The emphasis on the decorative arts and the hybrid dimension of the event reflect a fundamental trend in the world of art fairs. Concerts, guided tours and interaction enhance the experience and diversify the audience.

In parallel with the event, the French capital benefits from an increased profile. Other cultural events and exhibitions can be explored via the Culture & exhibitions category.

The Paris art market, consolidated by the success of FAB Paris, confirms its pre-eminent position on the international agenda. The 2025 edition is shaping up to be a showcase for innovation and heritage, attracting collectors and critics from all over the world.
