Lights, camera, action! On June 6, 2026, the Nuit Blanche descends on Paris and its suburbs for an immersion in the artistic rush under the stars. A true window onto art and culture, this exceptional night offers the chance to freely explore numerous venues normally closed to the public, to wander through exhibitions, and to catch performances in a decidedly festive atmosphere. An event not to miss!
It's against this magical backdrop that Anis Gras - le lieu de l'Autre comes to life in Arcueil. A former aniseed distillery converted into a multidisciplinary cultural space, Anis Gras is a landmark in Arcueil's cultural life. Conceived as a space for artistic creation and exchange, it is committed to promoting cultural diversity and encouraging encounters between the arts, artists and the public. Today, it is a major player in the dissemination of contemporary art in the southern suburbs of Paris.
On the occasion of Nuit Blanche 2026 in Paris, this artistic and crowd-favorite spot is naturally part of the night’s lineup and unveils its program for this new, unmissable late-night edition.
Laurent Melon will showcase his scopitone Ultimate Love during this Nuit Blanche. Projected onto the walls of the Anis Gras courtyard, the animated film will transport you into the visual and sonic universe of the Arcueil‑based artist.
Inspired by the ex-votos found in Adriatic chapels (Croatia), Slobodan K. Bijeljac brings us tales of love in all its guises, from heartbreak to the ones that endure for ever.
Alone on stage, Fatima Soualhia Manet embodies two lives: her own and that of her “sis,” the writer Fanny Mentré. Born to Algerian parents on one side and French on the other, they do not share the same blood, but they chose each other. How to escape the chaos and violence of inherited legacies to forge a fresh perspective? In this autobiographical journey, delivered with humor and acuity, Fatima summons the ghosts of childhood, the traumas and joys of the decades that followed, and unfolds the imagination of women who prize freedom.
When you start lingering over heart shapes and really looking at them, you realize daily life is filled with them. By bringing their "hearts" together in a shared projection, these three artists invite you to discover their collections and perhaps ignite your own. An exhibition by Danica Bijeljac, Delphine Dorsi, and Orailesya.
For six years, Isabelle Massenet has been walking the south suburbs on foot, starting from Cachan. Moved by the scale, speed, and violence of the urban transformations underway, she began painting the buildings she passes along the way—old and new, small and large—and collecting stories from the suburbs. Gathered in a single bookcase, paintings, maps, books, and various documents form a kind of archive—romantic and fragmentary—yet it aspires, despite everything, to offer a sensitive portrait of the diversity that is slipping away, erased by the Grand Paris construction sites and metropolitan densification.
