Emerging Artist Call for 100 L'EXPO 2027 - Visual & Performance Art
La Villette
France, Paris
Posted on: Apr. 19, 2026

Description:
Neither a contemporary art fair nor a thematic exhibition, it captures a snapshot of young creation at a key moment in its evolution, valuing the diversity of practices and narratives. Over 3500 m², the works are displayed in a scenography promoting free wandering, entirely designed from elements recovered from previous La Villette events.
In parallel with the exhibition, an event program is conceived each year to promote young creation in all its forms, including live performance, meetings, and performances.
A place of culture as much as nature, the public institution of the Parc de la Villette and Grande Halle (EPPGHV) is located northeast of Paris, in the 19th arrondissement. Its mission is to encourage creation and promote practices, new uses, and new forms of expression. It develops artistic and cultural activities open to the city, aimed at promoting diversity, mixity, and public encounters through sensitive and participatory experiences, particularly for children, young people, families, and disadvantaged audiences. Contemporary creation is presented in all its forms (music, dance, theater, circus, visual arts, and cinema).
For the 2027 edition, the selection is open to any artist who has obtained their DNSEP art diploma from one of the ANdEA member schools (National Association of Higher Art Schools), within 5 years post-diploma.
