FIAC and Paris Photo to remain at Grand Palais through 2020 before temporary relocation
FIAC and Paris Photo will continue to be held at Paris's Grand Palais through their 2020 editions, confirmed by organizer Reed Exhibitions. The fairs will temporarily move to nearby venues when restoration work begins in late 2020, with renovations expected to last two years. Both events are scheduled to return to the Grand Palais for their 2023 editions. The Ministry of Culture-run Grand Palais and Reed are currently reviewing plans for the temporary locations. Previous speculation had suggested the venue might close earlier in 2017 for restoration. The announcement provides certainty for the art fair calendar through the next four editions.
