BEYOND THE STREETS, the world‑renowned exhibition dedicated to graffiti and street art, is coming to Paris. It will open on 27 May 2026 at the Grande Halle de la Villette with tickets available here.

After major successful editions in Los Angeles, New York, Shanghai, and London (covered here), the Paris show will feature over 100 international and French artists, new works, rare archives, historic fashion pieces, and immersive installations across 3,600 square meters custom‑built exhibition space.  It will also include a concept-style gift shop curated by Sarah Andelman (founder of colette).

The exhibition explores how graffiti and street art evolved from underground practices to global cultural forces influencing cities, fashion, music, activism, and visual culture. All works are shown with the artists’ full consent, emphasizing respect for the movement’s history.

The Paris edition will highlight the city’s long-standing connection to graffiti culture, featuring numerous French artists and transforming La Villette into a vibrant, immersive environment.

Founder and curator Roger Gastman notes Paris’s crucial role in the global development of street art.

“Paris has played a critical role in the global evolution of graffiti and street art,” says Gastman. “Presenting BEYOND THE STREETS at La Villette—within a neighborhood that has long been a destination for these movements—feels both essential and deeply meaningful.”

The gift shop will offer exclusive collaborations, limited editions, and unique artworks throughout the exhibition. “I’m very excited that BEYOND THE STREETS is finally coming to Paris” says Andelman, “I’m honoured to collaborate on the gift shop, curating special editions from the artists in the show and trying to offer a meaningful souvenir selection for the occasion”

The curatorial team includes: Tim Conlon, Michael Delahaut, Aurora Fisher-Kendrick, Sky Gellatly, Paradise Grey, Pete Nice, Christian Omodeo, Dante Parel, Evan Pricco et Kim Stephens
