By venturing off the beaten path and away from established artists, you’re giving a boost to more modest but equally talented artists. If you don’t know where to look, Tac recommends flea markets, antique shops, specialty markets, or artists’ squats.
In the heart of Paris’s first arrondissement, for example, at number 59 rue de Rivoli, there’s an entire building transformed into artists’ studios. This unique building is both a true breath of fresh air in the middle of Paris and an original and fun way to give emerging talents a chance without breaking the bank.
• • • GIVE YOUNG ARTISTS A CHANCE
Speaking of emerging talent, why not give art students a chance?
From the École des Beaux-Arts to Estienne and Duperré, by way of the Sèvres workshops and the École de Condé, Paris abounds with art schools, each more talented than the last. These institutions organize numerous open house events every year, providing a golden opportunity to discover young artists who often sell their finest works, lithographs, or original creations.
Every year, the Beaux-Arts, for example, brings together 50 of its most talented students to exhibit at La Villette during the ” 100% Beaux-Arts ” exhibition. The works there are affordable, youthful, colorful, and reveal artists with exceptional talent.
