Christmas Art Market 2025 in Paris

The Christmas Art Market 2025, established in collaboration between the Japan Art Republic and the French artistic organization ARTEC, is set to take place in the beautiful setting of Paris. This unique event will be held from November 28th to November 30th, 2025, near the renowned Tuileries Garden. This is a fantastic opportunity for artists to showcase their work in a holiday-themed market that focuses exclusively on art, offering a variety of pieces from paintings to handcrafted art.

Venue and Concept

The market is conveniently located close to high-end shopping areas like Place Vendôme, home to luxury jewelers, and the prestigious Ritz Hotel. The venue aims to bring together art lovers who are looking for that perfect Christmas gift. Under the theme “Finding Art for Christmas Presents,” it will feature diverse artworks, including paintings, sculptures, handmade crafts, and more. This festival of creativity does not restrict itself strictly to Christmas-themed art, allowing a broader range of artistic expression.

This initiative is quite rare globally, marking the first of its kind where a market specifically focused on the art sector is organized during the holiday season. Artists are encouraged to explore the essence of Christmas as they create their masterpieces, taking inspiration from iconic works that have defined the holiday spirit through art history, such as those by Gauguin, Pissarro, and Mucha.

Call for Artists

Artists eager to participate can submit their works for a nominal fee of 20,000 yen. However, spaces are limited to the first 50 applicants, so early registration is encouraged to ensure a spot. The deadline for work submissions is set for October 10, 2025, and the application deadline is July 20, 2025, or until all spaces are filled.

The market is actively seeking submissions in various categories, including but not limited to:

• - Painting (Acrylic, Oil, Watercolor, Sumi-e, Illustrations)

About the Organizers

The event is organized by the ARTEC Association, a non-profit arts organization backed by the French government since 1992, under the leadership of Françoise Icare, who has been instrumental in promoting arts through various exhibitions.
The Japan Art Republic was founded in 1993 by Masashi Shimizu, who has an extensive background in art production and has participated in numerous international art festivals. The collaboration between these two organizations aims to enhance cultural exchange and support artistic endeavors.
