Strengthened by its international recognition forged over its ten years, SLICK continues to assert its positioning as a fair on a human scale engaged in the discovery of the emerging scene. Its selection of galleries and its programming reveals a qualitative rigor and an opening towards the International. This year, SLICK welcomes 50% of international galleries including a high concentration of galleries from Germany. The majority of them specialize in a particular medium, be it photography, painting or digital.

The thirty participating galleries present their artists in stands or in the form of special projects exhibited on La Plateforme.

In addition to the exhibition spaces, SLICK continues to collaborate with the media and businesses in order to produce moments of conviviality and discussion:

The Prix Arte / Beaux Arts Magazine will reward one of the artists of the fair (5000 euros + visibility on both media). It will be awarded on October 22 by a prestigious jury.

A performance program and speed talks * are organized during the 5 days.

The SLICK Kids workshops, in partnership with Art Kids Paris, Omy and Lavrut, will invite children over the age of 5 to a fun visit to the fair followed by a creative workshop. 3 workshops per afternoon, Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 15 p.m., every hour, by reservation (slickkids@slickartfair.com).

The Masterchef food truck will offer quality catering outside and by the Seine.

The VIP La Crème de la Crème breakfasts produced by the Lisa Kajita agency are organized every morning, in partnership with culinary creators. Friends of major Parisian museums have already booked their presence at specific dates and times.

Six artists will create installations for the entrance (Stephane Henry, between plastic art and design), reception (Amy Humphrey, floral installation), in the fair (an olfactory installation by James Heeley and a sound installation by Lasson), in different points of the fair (Photographic installation by Eric Marais) and on the Alexandre III Bridge (Guillaume Krick).

A virtual tour of the entire fair will take place on the opening day and will be broadcast the next day on the internet.
