Outsider' Paris, the art brut fair, returns for a third edition at the Bastille Design Center, from October 21 to 26, 2025. A free event for art lovers and the curious.

It's back for a second edition: the Outsider' Paris art brut fair will be held this time at the Bastille Design Center, in the 11th arrondissement, from October 21 to 26, 2025. This artistic event brings together several art galleries and original artists to celebrate art brut.

But what exactly isart brut? This movement was identified in 1945 by Jean Dubuffet: he gave this name to creations made by the marginalized and the insane, i.e. hospitalized, imprisoned, anarchist, mystical or rebellious people. For Dubuffet, art brut is created by people who have received no artistic education or culture, and who create free from these traditional and intellectual influences and shackles.

Art brut fascinates artists and collectors alike, and has undergone several evolutions over the decades. Always on the bangs of more traditional currents, art brut is now proudly on show at Le Molière, for the latest edition of the Outsider' Paris fair.

This year, sixteen galleries are taking part in this free fair, open to all. On this occasion, exhibitors present a variety of artists and creations that are sure to amaze visitors.

  • Bilbao Formarte - Bilbao, Spain
  • Copenhagen Outsider Art Gallery - Copenhagen, Denmark
