The Colors Festival, whose last edition had to be closed down by the authorities, is taking to the open sea, leaving the capital for the Val-de-Marne. If you're an urban art lover, Champigny-sur-Marne is the place to go to enjoy this festival, which takes over abandoned buildings and dwellings.
From February 10 to June 2, 2024, head to 37 avenue Roger Salengro to discover a totally transformed 300 m2 house. This 3-storey former radiology practice has been made available by Sully Immobilier. A singular, abandoned house, as you'd expect, where nature has begun to reclaim its rights. The ideal setting for an exceptional playground forurban art artists. Against an ecological backdrop, flora and fauna await you.
Under the direction of Dave Baranes, a renowned street-art artist, 17 urban artists have come to take possession of every wall and room in the house, which has been transformed into a giant canvas.

More than a classic exhibition, Colors Festival offers an immersive experience where we are invited to interact with art in a dynamic way. From graffiti workshops to children's reading and coloring areas, the festival encourages active participation so that it's accessible to everyone, whatever their age or level of expertise. What's more, a café is also on the program, with a lovely terrace overlooking the garden where you can relax on sunny days.
The unique setting of this house, where nature is beginning to reclaim its rights, adds an extra dimension to the exhibition. The contrast between the urbanity of street-art and the wildness of the surrounding nature promises a wonderful discovery. Are you anurbex fan? This is the exhibition for you!
The exhibition is open to you every weekend and every day during zone C school vacations, from 10am to 6pm on weekends and from 11am on vacation weeks. Don't forget the preferential rates available in advance, and we recommend you book ahead to guarantee access to this must-see street-art spot.
As a reminder, the Colors Festival stands out for its commitment to offering a platform where street-art, often perceived as ephemeral and marginal, is celebrated and enhanced in a unique context. This monumental exhibition invites deeper reflection on the role of urban art in the revitalization and transformation of neglected urban spaces.
