From November 19 to 21, 2026, the Artisans of Excellence Fair returns to the Palais de la Porte Dorée, an Art Deco setting, to celebrate the contemporary decorative arts professions. After a 2025 edition that brought together more than 3,200 visitors, professionals, and informed enthusiasts, the 2026 event brings together around a hundred art workshops and manufacturers, and artists of material. Wood, metal, leather, glass, textile, or ceramic become exceptional works thanks to the virtuosity of carefully selected contemporary creators.

Rethought by Brice Tual around emerging creation, the scenography offers several highlights: the lighting gallery by Sandra Benhamou, the eco-responsible fresco by Frédéric Imbert, and six dioramas dedicated to the French art of entertaining, signed by Virginie Lucy Duboscq.
