If contemporary art is of interest to you, the FIAC (foire internationale d’art contemporain) will claim your attention in October. This international contemporary art fair is the place to meet the most important people in contemporary art today. Gallery owners, collectors and curators meet at the Grand Palais and other locations outside its walls (the Louvre, the Tuileries gardens and the Jardin des Plantes, amongst others). Meet and mingle with them and discover up-and-coming artists, and feel like you’re a part of the international art scene yourself. And who knows? Maybe you’ll start your own collection!
