Graffiti, collages, committed works… in Paris, street art adorns and embellishes an infinite number of walls… Not just walls! Museums, galleries… The craze for urban art is such that dedicated spots are flourishing. If, in the summer of 2019, we were to learn with regret of the definitive closure of l’Aérosol, which would undoubtedly have been part of our selection, here’s a (non-exhaustive) list of 9 must-see open-air spots and galleries for urban art lovers in Paris! Follow us…
Le cabinet d’amateur gallery
With its facade covered in collages and graffiti of all kinds, and its street taken over by a number of street artists, Le Cabinet d’amateur is a must for urban art lovers. An anthology of ephemeral exhibitions dedicated to street artists for a sure-fire hit!
📍 Where? 12 rue de la Forge Royale, 75011, Paris
Le Lavo Matik: Ali Baba’s cave of urban art
Tagged walls, exhibitions, bookshop, objects of all kinds… Lavomatik is the eclectic venue par excellence dedicated to urban art. Stencils, graffiti, T-shirts, spray paint, Lavomatik is definitely the Ali Baba’s cave of street art in Paris: a must-see!
📍 Where? 20 Bd du Général Jean Simon, 75013, Paris
Art 42, the urban art museum in a computer school
Who could have imagined that the 1st street art museum in Paris would be housed in a computer school? Organized by student volunteers, these guided tours will show you urban art in a whole new light. Informal as can be!
📍 Where? École 42, 96 boulevard Bessières, Paris 17th.
Galerie Sakura, supercharged urban art in the Marais district
We don’t know about you, but we at Paris Secret especially love Galerie Sakura! And right now, we can’t recommend his “Dans les rues de Paris” exhibition, where no fewer than 70 street artists dazzle the gallery. Until March 20, 2021, you’ll be able to admire the works of urban artists created on Parisian Napoleonic cobblestones, maps of the capital’s metro system, menus from famous Parisian restaurants or Tickets from the Opéra Bastille. For this modern ode to our beautiful French capital, hurry to the Marais!
📍 Where? 21 Rue du Bourg Tibourg, 75004 PARIS
Galerie Itinerrance, behind Street art 13
A contemporary art gallery specializing in urban art since 2004, the Itinerrance gallery also expresses its art outside the walls, since it is behind the Street art 13 initiative!
📍 Where? 24 bis boulevard du Général Jean Simon 75013 Paris
Young Artists Montmartre (YAM)
It was in 2017 that Young Artist Montmartre saw the light of day as a new space dedicated to young creation. In this colorful gallery of contemporary and urban art, you’ll find works by the famous Ardif, Chanoir, Codexurbanus, Jaeraymie, Jo di Bona, Matt_Ttieu and Polar Bear, among other Parisian street artists.
📍 Where? 7 rue du Mont Cenis, 75 018 Paris
Le M.U.R Oberkampf
Every month in Oberkampf, the same wall is decked out in its finest colors. And a new artistic surface means a different street artist. We love to see this modular wall metamorphose over the weeks, each time revealing a different underlying message.
📍 Where? 107 Rue Oberkampf, 75011
Galerie Ligne 13, a nugget of urban art
Open since 2005, Galerie Ligne 13 supports artists specializing in urban art. Stencils, collages, performances, exhibitions: this gallery is a veritable nugget of urban art. Lovers of street art will be mesmerized at the mere sight of its psychedelic façade. A must-try!
📍 Where? 13 rue La Condamine, 75 017 Paris
The new kid on the block: M.U.R Bastille
A new addition to the urban landscape: M.U.R Bastille. In the same vein as M.U.R Oberkampf, M.U.R Bastille takes over the 11th arrondissement of Paris, where 4 times a year, an urban artist or collective is given carte blanche. To decorate this first wall, street artist Madame set the tone, adorning the rue de la Roquette facade with her customary poem “Et l’on boira le calice jusqu’à la lie pour enfin se repaitre de la vie” (“And we’ll drink the chalice to the lees to finally revel in life”)
📍 Where? 38 rue de la Roquette, 75 011 Paris
