Street Art aux Invalides: 34 French Street Artists Take Over Hôtel des Invalides for Charity

For the first time, the Hôtel national des Invalides in Paris will host a street art exhibition from May 28 to June 1, 2026. Organized under the impetus of General Loïc Mizon, military governor of Paris, the event features 34 major figures of French street art who will transform the historic monument's salons and northern moats. The exhibition culminates in a charity auction on June 1 at 7 PM, conducted by Maître Arnaud Oliveux of ArtCurial, with all proceeds benefiting associations supporting wounded soldiers and bereaved military families: Terre fraternité Ado, Entraide Marine-ADOSM, Fondation des Œuvres Sociales de l'Air (FOSA), and Solidarité Défense. Artists will also create live graffiti on panels in the moats, which will remain on display for a month. The auction is by registration only and will be livestreamed on Drouot's website. The artistic director is Lieutenant Déborah Dauberville. The event is free and open to the public.
