Paris Avant-Première is an initiative supporting the emerging artistic scene gathering a community of young galeries and independent Parisian spaces. It strives to outline a local cartography mapping present-day creation, and sheds light on places that foster a budding artistic scene, outside conventional marketing channels. The project and its agents will be given top billing during a week of events and previews organized across the city to launch FIAC, making the most of the international spotlight directed onto the month of contemporary art in Paris.
