This 3rd edition will bring together around twenty French and foreign galleries, once again highlighting drawing in all its forms, through the work of emerging or more established artists. Specific projects will punctuate this intimate journey, conducive to a fluid stroll and whose light fully participates in the enhancement of the works. A carte blanche given to Denis Croisat and Didier Beaumelle, collectors of contemporary art, will in particular make it possible to discover, for the first time, part of their collection. As part of a partnership with the City of Montrouge, and under the curation of Marie Deparis-Yafil, DDessin {15} will host a selection of works by artists from the 11th edition of Miniartextil in Montrouge, international art exhibition contemporary textile, enriched with other pieces.

This year's Corner Illustrators will bring together the works of four French and foreign illustrators from the press, fashion and books, while Glamor magazine will unveil an unprecedented selection of works by the five winners of their illustration competition "Draw your Glamor Icon".

Many artists will once again perform live for an afternoon following the renewed invitation to the "Evenings Drawn", whose productions will also be permanently taking place at Atelier Richelieu this year. a space will also be dedicated to the young French artist Milène Guermont, favorite of DDessin {15}.

In addition, the French scarf house Michel leBrun will present, as a preview of the show, Milkoo by Michel LeBrun: its new collection with designs made by creators.

Two round tables will allow us to discuss subjects around this medium in a period which is largely devoted to it, on the one hand around the constitution of a collection of works by young artists, on the other hand on the theme "Draw now ". The DDessin {15} Prize will also be awarded during the event by a jury made up of personalities from the world of art and culture.
