What if immersive art met science fiction in Paris? Paint Invaders, a new immersive and fluorescent art center, opens its doors on October 24, 2025, opposite the Grand Rex. This 800 m² installation invites the public to enjoy a unique artistic experience where free creation, light, and color come together in a futuristic universe. A unique sensory adventure in the heart of the capital, combining art and personal expression.

Here, conceived as a secret base, visitors are invited to respond to an unusual mission: to push back the frontiers of their creativity in the face of strange creatures from elsewhere, the Invaders. With its futuristic lighting, enveloping soundscape and fluorescent paint, the experience is as much lived as it is created.

Total immersion in the world ofaction painting

The journey begins from the very first seconds, with a sleek, modern scenography that plunges visitors into a parallel world, halfway between art laboratory and science-fiction setting. Everything is designed to arouse the emotions, stimulate the imagination and allow absolute creative freedom.

Here, art is practiced standing up, in motion, with unexpected tools and paint that reacts to black light. Everyone is free to express their ideas without constraint, projecting color onto white surfaces that become, for the space of a moment, grounds for experimentation. And because every gesture counts, everyone leaves with their own work, a tangible souvenir of an experience that's both fun and personal.

A participatory experience... provided you want to play the game

Paint Invaders is aimed at a varied public of all ages, eager to experience an original cultural activity. It's an ideal proposition for those wishing to discover a different way of approaching art: freer, more instinctive, more sensorial. Whether you're looking for an outing with friends, an unusual moment for two, or a creative activity for the whole family, this is the place to be.

On the other hand, this experience will not suit those seeking a quiet or contemplative activity, or those sensitive to intense sound and visual ambiences. The immersive nature of the tour requires a certain openness to the unexpected, and a willingness to become actively involved in the creative process.

Our review of Paint Invaders:

A fun experience that our team had the chance to try out. Right from the start, you're transported into the universe, with metallic decorations and rounded shapes reminiscent of little green men. Then, you dive into the main event: a dedicated room explaining the concept of Paint Invaders and the rules to follow. Here, you'll meet the scientists assisting the aliens in bringing color to Earth's landscapes. You gear up (long poncho and padded leggings for maximum protection), grab a palette, six neon paint pots, a canvas, and are then led into your creative space.

Because it’s truly a creative zone, and don’t mistake it for a traditional painting workshop or a drink & paint session: this is all about an immersive, story-driven experience, much like an escape game—since the founders come from that universe.

Once your canvas is against the wall, you're invited to unleash your creativity with various tools: traditional brushes, rollers, pom-poms... you can even use a water gun or a slingshot! Brush strokes, paint splashes... The best approach is to not overthink and just go for it. Better yet, let your subconscious take over and create instinctively. The result? A one-of-a-kind masterpiece that perfectly expresses who you are.

While your painting dries, you're welcome to enjoy a non-alcoholic drink at the bar located right in the middle of the creative zone, or head back to change and pick up your belongings. We also recommend dressing comfortably—since it can get warm inside—and wearing clothes that you don’t mind getting stained. You’re mostly protected, but it’s always better to be safe than sorry.

This activity is perfect for families with children. Everything is designed to make it easy for them to express themselves freely. Plus, the venue is just opposite the Grand Rex, right near the metro... Super accessible! All in all, it’s a fantastic experience for anyone passionate about painting and fluorescent art.
