The Salon

● In 1881, it became an independent society and has since continued to present each year the work of international contemporary artists, both emerging and established

● The 2026 edition brought together more than 3,000 artists, including 900 within the Salon des Artistes Français, and welcomed 43,000 visitors in just four days of exhibition
