Paris Art Week faces protests over education cuts and living costs
Protests regarding education funding and rising living expenses are causing several venues to scale back programming during the fifth edition of Art Basel Paris.
Main event programming ends early
Several fairs, museums, and galleries have decided to reduce their weekend schedules due to current social conditions. This reduction leads to an abrupt conclusion for the main event before its usual end date. The situation highlights how external realities are influencing the traditional art calendar.
Satellite shows continue through next year
Despite the cuts, a list of must-see satellite moments remains available for visitors to attend. Many of these alternative exhibitions will stay open until February 21, 2027. Artists are using these spaces to imagine new ways of seeing the world.
