Fresco and art in situation
The Fresco & Art in Situations programme at the Beaux-Arts de Paris is aimed at artists in their 3rd year of study at the Beaux-Arts de Paris, as well as holders of a bac +3 (DNA, art school bachelor, DNMADE, DNSEP) by 1 October 2026 or with at least 3 years' professional experience in the art world.
The course is designed to give students the opportunity to work closely with artists working in situ and outside contributors who are experts in the various fields of art in the public space. It offers theoretical and practical teaching, as well as supervising commissioned projects undertaken by private and public partners.
The course covers a wide range of techniques, from the most innovative to the most traditional, to provide a diversified exploration of the challenges of an art form that belongs squarely in the public space. Artistic interventions in a wide variety of contexts (heritage, natural, urban, in sensitive areas or areas undergoing change) are at the heart of this teaching. The course is informed not only by the artistic, technical, legal and financial issues raised by art in situ, but also by its roots in art history and the theoretical issues raised by these practices.
The program is supported by Apes/Groupe Action Logement and Vedettes de Paris.
