The internernational fine craft and creation biennial, organised by Ateliers d'Art de France, is held every two years in the majestic setting of the Grand Palais, in Paris. A key event in contemporary creation worldwide since 2013, Révélations welcomes several hundred creators – both established and emerging talents – from all over the world to the heart of Paris, steps away from the Champs Elysées.
Excellence, avant-gardism, and eclecticism are the values carried forth by the Révélations biennial. It is a time for privileged interactions and the discovering of tomorrow’s trends. In 2027, the biennial will take place from May 19 to 23, under the glass roofs of the Grand Palais, a symbol of French excellence.
Organised and held by Ateliers d’Art de France since 2013, Révélations asserts the identity and role of creators in society and in the global creative market. It offers a unique opportunity for fine craft professionals to seek out their audiences, celebrate their boldness through unprecedented works, and showcase their daily commitment.
Révélations is a major economic event for International contemporary creation. The prestigious biennial, reflecting the sector’s diversity, ensures creators the presence of key decision-makers and prescribers to enrich their network and generate new orders.
3,000 pieces will be revealed to the public in an unbiased way. This is an invitation to go behind the scenes of fine craft workshops and to meet the creators.
To ensure the excellence and quality of the works displayed, Révélations appoints an Artistic Steering Committee to select the creators who will be exhibiting. The panel is made up of representatives from the entire sector of contemporary creation: creators, gallery owners, prescribers (designers, architects, etc.), museum directors, collectors, and so on. The committee gathers for three sessions to examine applications.
Reflecting the vitality of international contemporary creation, Révélations consecrates Paris as the world epicentre for the creative universe for 5 days.
In 2027, the biennial will remain in Europe to celebrate the dynamism of creation. Ireland will be the country of honour, supported by the Design & Crafts Council Ireland (DCCI). Following its successful debut at Le Banquet 2025, Ireland is excited to present its 'Irish Craft Heroes.' Ireland and France share a common Norman, Huguenot and Celtic heritage, as well as a legacy of fine craft professionals who appreciate beautiful lines and combine excellence in craftsmanship with innovation in materials.
