In the aftermath of the recent health crisis and the two-month lockdown, the 7th edition of Paris Gallery Weekend is offering a more extensive selection. Reflecting the diversity of modern and contemporary art galleries in Paris, the event spotlights 60 galleries: their space, their role, their artists, and the gallerists running them. The event aims to revive cultural and artistic life in Paris: allow visitors to view, experience and appreciate works in their context, and meet and have exchanges with the people driving the art world.

For four days, in four areas of Paris including Pantin and Romainville, part of a new geographical district of Greater Paris, visitors are able to discover more than 72 exhibitions, including 47 solo shows and 25 group shows, in optimal conditions. Where possible, the galleries will program discussions and encounters with the artists. Both a specialized event and one aimed at the general public and open to all, Paris Gallery Weekend caters to both collectors and amateurs, be they connoisseurs or neophytes. A number of programs is put in place to accompany visitors based on their profile and aspirations. Thematic selections are made by such specialized fairs as Paris Photo, Drawing Now and A Round Video Art Fair; a preview of all of the exhibited works will be released online on Artsy to prepare gallery visits; and appointments will be possible before and after the gallery openings.  Concrete measures are taken to introduce aspiring collectors to contemporary art and to the collection.  This program will be circulated among the alumni networks of the Grandes Écoles and other higher-education institutions as well as among businesses. The list of participants reflects the wide array of galleries in Paris.  Whether long established or more recently setup, galleries of various sizes and types all join forces to invite collectors and art lovers to discover the works of their artists in early July, after a long period in which participants were distanced from one another.
