Art3f Paris 2025: A Celebration of Emotion, Accessibility, and Artistic Connection

As the leaves begin to turn in Paris, the city prepares to host one of its most vibrant cultural events: the autumn edition of art3f, the International Contemporary Art Fair, returning to Paris Expo Porte de Versailles from September 26 to 28, 2025.

A Human-Centered Art Experience

Unlike traditional art fairs, art3f reimagines the gallery experience with warmth, spontaneity, and emotional resonance. It’s a space where living artists take center stage, and where visitors—whether seasoned collectors or curious newcomers—can engage directly with creators in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

This year’s edition promises:

- Over 200 exhibitors including emerging talents and established names from across Europe and beyond

- Live art performances, where artists create works on-site, offering a glimpse into their process

- Sculptures, paintings, photography, ceramics, and mixed media works—all available for purchase

- Art talks and book signings, fostering dialogue around contemporary trends and personal narratives

- A charity auction on the final day, supporting regional artist associations and reinforcing art3f’s commitment to community

Lounge, Cuisine, and Celebration

Beyond the artworks, art3f offers a sensory journey: a lounge-style restaurant with gourmet dishes, curated wines, and live music sets the tone for a festive weekend. The vernissage—the official opening—will feature a live band and a convivial ambiance that invites guests to linger and connect.

Why It Matters

Art3f’s philosophy is rooted in accessibility and emotion. It strips away elitism and invites everyone to experience art intuitively—through beauty, touch, and dialogue. It’s not just a fair; it’s a ritual of encounter, a celebration of creativity, and a testament to the power of art to move and unite.

Conclusion- Art3F Paris 2025 delivered a rich and diverse showcase of contemporary creativity. From large-scale sculptures to intimate mixed media pieces, the exposition offered a wide spectrum of artistic voices. Many visitors expressed admiration for the tactile presence of the works and the accessibility of the artists themselves—several were present to discuss their process and inspirations.

Among the many artists featured, Perrotte and Juliane Quérard-Schack stood out for their profound compatibility with art therapy principles. Perrotte’s abstract compositions channel emotional release through gesture and color, offering viewers a space for introspection and energetic renewal. Juliane Quérard-Schack’s work, rooted in both painting and creative pedagogy, invites gentle reflection and inner dialogue. Together, their approaches embody the therapeutic potential of art—where form becomes feeling, and creation becomes a pathway to emotional clarity.

The atmosphere was convivial and curious, with families, collectors, and creatives engaging in thoughtful exchanges. Personally, I found the experience exquisite: the curation allowed for both discovery and reflection, and the variety of mediums—from oil painting to ceramic installations—highlighted the evolving language of art today.
