For this 10th edition and for the 3rd consecutive year, SLICK will be showcasing contemporary art in a unique Parisian setting, the Banks of the River Seine only steps away from the Grand Palais. Building on a ten-year strong international reputation, SLICK continues to maintain its position as a contemporary art fair on a human scale, engaged in discovering emerging talents. This year’s gallery selection and program reveal an outstanding level of quality, and a fair open to new horizons: SLICK welcomes galleries of which 50% are international, with a large concentration from Germany. The majority of galleries are specialized in a specific medium, ranging from photography, to painting and digital art. The thirty participating galleries* are presenting their artists in dedicated stands or through special projects exhibited in The Platform*. In parallel to the exhibition spaces, SLICK continues to collaborate with media partners and companies to offer convivial opportunities for meetings and exchanges: > The Arte / Beaux Arts Magazine Award will recognize one artist exhibiting at the fair (with a 5,000 euro award and visibility in two mediums). A prestigious jury will award the prize on October 22. > Performances and discussions organized over the course of the 5 days (program under development). > SLICK kids workshops, in partnership with Art Kids Paris, Omy and Lavrut will invite children over the age of 5 to a playful visit of the fair, followed by a creative workshop.

Dynamic, a place for new discoveries, with its demanding selection process, SLICK reveals the latest artistic trends
EMERGENCE OF ARTISTIC TALENT SLICK Art Fair, France’s most important fair devoted to the discovery of emerging international artists, showcases highly innovative contemporary artists and reveals tomorrow’s artistic trends. SLICK supports and encourages the efforts of new galleries, scouts out and reveals the current art scene. More established galleries also participate in the fair, all invited for their efforts to discover the hottest artists of tomorrow. Some fifty or so international galleries gather for the annual event that attracts around 13,000 visitors each time.
A WIDESPREAD NETWORK OF COLLECTORS Since 2006, SLICK Art Fair has built up a far-reaching network of institutional and private collectors, some of whom are new to the game, others with much more experience. The fair’s 13,000 visitors come to discover tomorrow’s values before they become prohibitive. In order to develop its network throughout northern Europe, SLICK organised the SLICK Art Fair Brussels for two consecutive years. The SLICK Art Fair in Paris has been held for the last eight years. It takes place in October, a key period on the French art calendar: the Paris contemporary art week. Institutions, galleries, associations, foundations, FIAC, all those involved in the French art scene pull out all the stops to greet collectors and art lovers from the world over.
AN EXCEPTIONAL LOCATION Since 2013, and after two years at the Palais de Tokyo, the SLICK Art Fair has been held on the banks of the Seine, next to the Alexandre III bridge, just a short walk from the Grand Palais and the FIAC. In 2015, due to the exceptional location, SLICK is back on the banks of the Seine.
