Paris 2027
ALEA Salon Award & Exhibition
International Artist Open Call
ALEA Salon Award & Exhibition at the Carrousel du Louvre, Paris · 22 – 24 October 2027
The French Salon dates back to 1667, when the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture held its first exhibition: in 2027 that tradition will be 360 years old. It came to the Louvre in 1699, took its name from the Louvre's Salon Carré in 1725, and medals were first awarded in 1849. The ALEA Salon Award, organised by our association, continues that spirit.
Open to artists of all nationalities, working in any medium — painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, mixed media, digital art, printmaking, and more. Both emerging and professional artists are welcome. This is a competition: once you register and pay, you take part. Each artist may enter one (1) single work; sets or multi-piece works are not accepted. Works are judged on site by the French association ALEA, with awards and medals presented at the venue.
【WHY CHOOSE US】What Makes This Different
Professional-Grade Media Assets
Every exhibiting artist receives the exhibition catalogue, a foreign-language interview and art-critique video of up to one minute, and professional photography of the event. These assets do not expire: use them on your website, on social media, in grant applications and when presenting your work to collectors.
Authentic Local Integration
We reject insular diaspora exhibitions where Asian
creators are only seen by other Asians.
Through ALEA's French networks, we connect directly with
mainstream Parisian art circles, local collector
communities, and institutional gatekeepers. Our objective
is not cultural self-reference — it is genuine European
visibility.
Asian artists, seen by Europe. Not by each other.
Genuine Academic Recognition
The ALEA Salon Award is judged on site by the French association ALEA, at the exhibition in the Carrousel du Louvre, where the awards and medals are presented.
Venue: Carrousel du Louvre, Paris, France
