My weekly booth at the "Marché de la Création de la Bastille" in Paris

For a photographer in Paris the possibilities to present his works at reasonnable conditions is reduced. Among them there is the Marché de la Création, a market for artists, that takes place each Saturday from 10 A.M. to 19 P.M. along the year. To be able to exhibit you need to present your works to the organisation, SOMAREP, and a joined comitee with representatives from the town hall must select you. After acceptance you receive a personnal card.

The market is located along the Boulevard Richard-Lenoir beginning at the Bastille. The number of the artists changes as there is no obligation to be present every Saturday. Personnaly I will be present there each Saturday in July and August 2013. Many types of art are present : painting, sculpture, photography, jewellery, textile and leather crafts,

Each exhibitor has to provide the equipment of the booth and the lightning, power is free. After having made the instalation of the booth , I remain there to promote my work and provide explanations during the day.

This market is very interesting because it is very well located not too far from the center of Paris. Near the Marais, the old Paris and the « Gay Paris » , the market attracts a very large type of visitors : foreigners from all countries, local parisians and french tourists.

There is another similar market on sondays which take place near Montparnasse, Avenue Edgar Quinet. But it is smaller and I am not able to be there this year.
