Urban Art Fair 2026: the international street art exhibition returns to Le Carreau du Temple — our photos

Art galleries, murals, festivals, and art fairs... For several years now, street art has captured the hearts of art lovers and features prominently in many exhibitions. That’s why, for the past decade, the Carreau du Temple has opened its doors to a major international urban art fair. As you might guess, the Urban Art Fair is making a grand comeback for its tenth edition.

The countdown has begun: French and international artists and galleries will be waiting for you from Thursday, March 19 to Sunday, March 22, 2026. This is a perfect opportunity to explore a curated selection of fresh, innovative installations. Visitors can expect to see dozens of galleries from around the globe, along with over a hundred artists from the vibrant street art scene. Bright, playful, and unconventional — this fair promises a weekend full of surprises and new discoveries.

Remember that Urban Art Fair is a must-visit event for street art and urban art enthusiasts: numerous solo shows offer an in-depth look at the work of contemporary painters, sculptors, and artists. Immerse yourself in their creative worlds and discover the talents showcased at this major event in the urban art market. You can simply stroll through the displays or choose to purchase the piece that catches your eye, so you can proudly display it at home, in your living room. However, be aware that many works are priced above 1,000 euros and some go well beyond that.

Urban Art Fair Celebrates its 10th Anniversary in 2026

For the 2026 edition, marking the tenth anniversary of the fair, Urban Art Fair aims to celebrate a decade of innovation, diversity, and artistic commitment. Over the past ten years, the event has hosted more than 150 galleries, showcased over 600 artists, and attracted tens of thousands of visitors. This year, the fair promises new collaborations, exclusive works, and redesigned exhibition spaces.

Exciting New Features on the Agenda

Among the new features, the International Urban Art Fair is showcasing The Underbelly Project, an underground art initiative that originated between 2009
and 2010 in the dark tunnels of New York's subway system, led by Logan Hicks and Jordan Seiler. During that period, over a hundred large-scale works were secretly installed by more than a hundred international artists. This spring, Urban Art Fair is dedicating a dedicated booth to spotlight this clandestine project. Visitors will have the chance to learn more about its long-held secrecy through screenings of a documentary film, along with original pieces from around fifteen prominent artists, including Shepard Fairey, Swoon, Jeff Soto, Rone, and ROA.

For its tenth anniversary, the International Urban Art Fair also welcomed Oli. Half of the duo Bigflo & Oli showcased his imaginary museum, highlighting his dedication to contemporary art.
