***** ART CAPITAL - One Banner: 4 Salons

- Le Salon des Indépendants
Created in 1884, it was celebrating its 140th Anniversary in 2024. It was called the « Salon des Refusés » because the Artists taking part challenged the Codes and Principles of Academic Painting. What a Victory it was for this Salon, whose Name was not the Flattering One it used to be, to have Freely Exhibited the Greatest Names from all the Schools, whose Painters today ensure the Glory of the Great Museums of Modern Art. Its slogan remains: « No Jury, no Prize ». More than Thirty Countries are represented, and over 450 Artists.
- Le Salon Comparaisons

The Comparisons Exhibition has 31 Groups. They represent as many Different Sensibilities and Trends in Contemporary Art, and the Public appreciates the Confrontation of Styles, Approaches and Techniques in Spaces where Affinities are displayed. Always True to its Mission, COMPARAISONS remains more determined than ever to promote ART and the Artists who exhibit at its Show every year. It was the First to present these Groups in Opposition and to Institute Regular Exchanges with Artists from abroad.
- Le Salon Dessin Peinture à L’eau

Founded in 1949, the Fair has seen the Work of many of the World’s Greatest Artists, including Chagall, Matisse and Marie Laurencin. Today it is Part of Art Capital and is undeniably one of the Major Events in the World of International Visual Art. Its specificity makes it « the World’s Leading Specialist in Works Under Glass or Plexiglas ». All Trends and Techniques are represented. Its High Profile is unrivalled, both at the Grand Palais and at the Grand Palais Ephémère.
- Le Salon des Artistes Français

It has been a Historic Salon for over Three Centuries. Artists are selected by a Jury, and for the 2024 Edition, over 1,100 Applications were received, with 700 Artists shortlisted in the Historic Sections: Painting, Sculpture, Architecture, Engraving and Photography.

The year 2024 is marked by the Celebration of the 60th Anniversary of the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations between France and China and the Franco-Chinese Year of Cultural Tourism. So, the Spotlight was being on Chinese Artistic Creation, with a Dedicated Space showcasing 15 Artists from the Contemporary Scene exploring Various Media (Painting, Drawing, Photography).
