Ateliers d'art de France presents

International creation at the heart of Révélations

A true hymn to know-how and creation, Révélations welcomes 550 creators from 35 countries for its 7ᵉ edition, illustrating all the vitality and diversity of fine crafts. The biennial's international dimension is intensifying, with new nations sharing their singular outlook on creation, sometimes for the first time in Europe.

From Le Banquet - the flagship exhibition - to the balconies that will be occupied for the first time in the fair's history, not forgetting the vibrant aisles beneath the nave, let yourself be surprised by the excellence of fine crafts from Spain, China, Ukraine, Korea, Quebec, Luxembourg, Saudi Arabia, Senegal... and, of course, Italy!

The international exhibition Le Banquet

Véritable colonne vertébrale et signature de Révélations, l’exposition internationale Le Banquet prend place sur toute la longueur de la Nef. Cette 7ème édition met en lumière des pays inédits, rarement présentés en France et en Europe, comme le Brésil, la Malaisie, les Philippines, le Bangladesh, la Géorgie ou la Grèce, les outres-mers françaises offrant une découverte unique au public.

Discover the 12 regions of the world

Italy, the country of honour

Each edition of Révélations puts the spotlight on contemporary creation from a different region of the world. From 21 to 25 May, a selection of 22 creators, supported by ICE - the Italian Trade Agency - will be showcasing the diversity of Italian craftsmanship.

Cradle of exceptional craftsmanship for thousands of years, Italy is renowned for its emblematic skills such as Carrara marble, Murano glass, semi-precious stones from Florence, silk from Como and coral from Naples. Révélations shakes things up by presenting never-before-seen contemporary works.
