Ateliers d’Art de France is the professional organization of reference in terms of the French arts.

Founded in 1868, it unites over 6,000 artists, material artists and art manufactories. Having originated from art studios, it is the main link to public authorities, professionals as well as the general public. Its missions: to defend and represent professional artists and contribute to the economic development of this sector. With this goal in mind, it carries out symbolic initiatives within the field of arts in order to reveal the dynamic creativity of studios in France and beyond.

As the main organizer of fairs dedicated to the arts, Ateliers d'Art de France created the first Art Fair in Paris in 1949, which became Maison&Objet in 1995, the number one decoration and lifestyle reference worldwide. Nowadays, Ateliers d'Art de France co-owns it along with the Reed Expositions Group.

Ateliers d'Art de France also owns and organizes two international fairs: "Révélations," the international arts and creation biennial, which launched in Paris in 2013 in the emblematic setting of the Grand Palais, and the "Salon International du Patrimoine Culturel" (international cultural heritage fair) which takes place once a year at the Carrousel du Louvre.

Ateliers d’Art de France rolls out many cultural and commercial events on an international level, including in Asia, the United States and Europe. They all contribute to the branching out of French artistic creation and the arising of new economic opportunities:

- the launch of Maison&Objet Asia and Maison&Objet Americas in Singapore and Miami has enabled us to place the French creative industry on the major export destinations map while opening up to new professional networks and to a patronage with significant purchasing power.

- joint pavilions on high-profile contemporary art fairs and trade shows: Collect and Top Drawers & Home in London, SOFA New York and Chicago, as well as the Craft Trend Fair in Seoul.

- new event concepts in collaboration with international institutional and cultural players: cross-exhibitions and exhibition trails dedicated to arts, such as the French Art Tour Shanghai.

The Grand Palais in Paris is the iconic monument of the Rmn-GP, where we showcase our biggest exhibitions to best advantage in its vast spaces. We also host events organized by others, such as FIAC, Paris Photo, catwalk shows during Fashion Week, the Saut Hermès equestrian event, etc. Culture is represented here in all its forms, attracting over 2 million people each year.

The Musée du Luxembourg does not belong to us: we manage it on behalf of the Senate, its actual custodian. In recognition of the trust placed in us by the Senate, we take good care of this attractive museum tucked away in the heart of the Latin Quarter which welcomes 400,000 visitors each year. We stage art exhibitions there on specific themes, such as “The Renaissance in Europe,” “Art and Power” and “The Palace, the Garden and the Museum: the Luxembourg in the Heart of Paris, the Capital of the Arts.”
