An artsy, music-filled interlude with cocktails at Galerie Chapon for Nuit Blanche 2026

Since 2002, the Nuit Blanche has kept Paris from turning in too early. The idea is simple: turn the capital and its metropolitan area into a vast playground for contemporary art, with works, installations and performances popping up in museums, streets, squares, gardens, monuments, public facilities or heritage sites. For the 2026 edition, mark your calendars for Saturday, June 6, centered on the theme of love, under the artistic direction of Barbara Butch. A night stroll that doubles as a cultural treasure hunt, compass optional but with comfortable shoes.

Chapon Gallery also joins the circuit with ASPHALT, curated by UNFAZED. The address? 17, rue Chapon, in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris, right in the heart of Paris Centre, where galleries, studios and cultural venues like to elbow their way between two façades of the Marais.

ASPHALT is taking over on Saturday, June 6 and Sunday, June 7, 2026, from 12:00 to 20:00. Entry is €7.21 and includes a Féfé Drink cocktail, while supplies last. The detail not to miss: access is exclusively by reservation. It’s best to avoid showing up as if you were just passing by, or you risk ending up on the sidewalk.

  Entre exposition, performances et programmation musicale, ASPHALT réunit les artistes Artemile, Clara Borde, Amalia Khalifa, Arthur Amrouche, Gzaviaie ou encore David Perez autour d’une réflexion sur les imaginaires contemporains, les récits intimes et les formes du quotidien.
  À travers peinture, installation, vidéo et œuvres sous commission, Une exposition imaginée par la curatrice Rania Samarou dialogue avec une scène musicale mêlant rap, pop, rnb, dance et musique électronique, avec notamment Fae Sapienta, Le Lij, Kel9da, Kruzer (Amsterdam), Blackmoon et Ascrime Restinpeace, transformant le lieu en un espace vivant traversé par le son, l’image et le mouvement.
  Le projet est porté par UNFAZED, plateforme culturelle fondée par Klola.
