Drawing Factory II Opens with Three-Day Public Program During Printemps du Dessin
From April 24 to April 26, Paris will host "Drawing Together," a three-day event at Drawing Factory II, an artist residency dedicated to contemporary drawing covering 1,500 m². Located at 61 rue de Richelieu in the 2nd arrondissement, it showcases 32 studios where 33 artists from France and beyond work. This residency was established by the Drawing Society in collaboration with the Centre national des arts plastiques (Cnap) and SOFERIM. Artists were chosen in October 2025, starting their residency in November 2025 and continuing until April 30, 2026. A selection committee, featuring members like Simon André-Deconchat and Marianne Dollo, made the final decisions. The public can enjoy family activities, performances, and discussions, marking the conclusion of the residency.
