7th edition of District 13 International Art Fair at Hôtel Drouot

Since 2018, the fair has built a strong identity, a polished format, seamless scenography, and a demanding curatorial approach that shines a light on both street art’s leading figures and emerging new voices. With attendance growing from 3,000 to over 12,000 in 2025, it reflects the fair’s steady rise in popularity among both the public and art professionals.

Breaking with traditional fair formats, District 13 offers an immersive experience designed as a coherent, accessible artistic journey. Galleries enjoy thoughtfully curated spaces that encourage discovery and conversation. More than just a fair, District 13 acts as a dynamic platform supporting urban artists, boosting their visibility and recognition within the contemporary scene. Many artists and young galleries have found a true springboard here.

By hosting District 13, Hôtel Drouot – a cornerstone of the Parisian art market since 1852 – reaffirms its central role in the evolution of contemporary art practices. The meeting of this historic venue with urban aesthetics creates a fresh, unprecedented dialogue, a testament to the vibrancy of today’s art market.

Just weeks ahead of the fair, District 13 Art Fair is unveiling an exclusive first selection of works and artists to be presented at the 2026 edition by participating galleries – highlighting the trends, styles, and visions that will define this next edition.
