The Salon d'Automne 2025 will be held on the Place de la Concorde from 29 October to 2 November 2025.
In two pavilions with a total surface area of 4,000 m2, more than 1,000 artists of 48 different nationalities will be exhibiting their works, presenting a wide range of the artistic trends of our time.
True to its exhibition model, the artists will be presented in artistic sections: Painting, Sculpture, Engraving, Drawing, Photography, Environmental Art, Myths & Singularity, Digital Art, Artists' Books and Architecture.
A number of our partners, art associations and galleries, will have reserved spaces, and we're delighted to have them on board for this adventure.
The Japanese association Club des Amis de l'Europe et des Arts (CAEA), with which we have maintained a loyal relationship since 1975, will be presenting 96 artists. The BBK, a German association with which we have been working for several years, will be exhibiting the works of 10 artists.
Several galleries will be showcasing the work of contemporary artists, and our partner Passage Clouté and its gallery LAB Galerie will be presenting urban artists and running creative workshops for young audiences.
The artist Mika Ichikawa, who does us the honour of taking part in the Salon d'Automne every year, and the artist Elisabeth Ollé Curiel will be exhibiting their work in dedicated spaces.
This 122nd edition of the show, anchored in the present and concerned with the urgent issues of our time, is part of the global programme to preserve the oceans: La mer en commun.
Our patron, Louis Burton, a great sailor, will be bringing us the open seas, as well as his vision and commitment to preserving the oceans.
Works of various kinds, by artists committed to the theme of the sea and its protection, will be exhibited in a dedicated space; these creations will interact with scientific data to enrich our thinking and cross our points of view. Conferences, debates, round tables and film screenings will be held throughout the exhibition to further this educational approach. The Tara Foundation will be contributing all its experience and knowledge to enlighten and enrich the debates.
This year's guest, Serge Guérin, a specialist in the broad issue of ageing, will be talking to the artists about works produced on this theme.
To keep our memory alive, several major works by the great artist Mac'Avoy, a leading figure in the Salon d'Automne and its president from 1969 to 1991, will be on display. The ‘BOOST Jeunes créateurs’ programme, set up in recent years, is continuing its commitment to young artists by offering them hanging rights.
This year's show is remarkable not only for the quality of the works on display, but also for its commitment to a theme as important as protecting the sea. Art is a powerful means of expression and communication on crucial issues, and the Salon d'Automne is right up there with it.
The Salon d'Automne is a major and unique event in world artistic life, and its associative model guarantees its integrity and strength. United artists have a prestigious venue in which to exhibit their work, meet a broad public and share their experiences.
It's the artists who give this show its strength and uniqueness. Passionate artists who remain faithful to the Salon d'Automne and its spirit. On behalf of the members of the Board of Directors, I would like to thank them warmly.
I would also like to thank all the members of the Board of Directors, the members of the office and the administrative team, a solid and experienced team that every year organises this annual exhibition and contributes to making it a great success.
So we're all here to create this magical moment, and we look forward to seeing you there.
Jean-Christophe Lévêque
President of the Salon d'Automne
