About

IMMERSION/S returns for its fifth edition at 14 rue Chapon, in the 4th arrondissement of Paris. This event showcases the excellence and uniqueness of French arts and crafts through a program highlighting rare techniques and cultural heritage. Organized by the FAFCEA, this gathering is open to anyone interested in discovering bespoke artisanal creations and the dedication behind these specialized trades. Admission is free for all attendees. Join this vibrant hub of artistic exchange from October 9 to October 11, 2026, to witness the ingenuity of artisans preserving exceptional skills while fostering new collaborative works.

For the fifth consecutive year, the FAFCEA – the funding body for training for non-salaried artisanal business owners – is renewing the IMMERSION/S fair experience, dedicated to Art Trades.

For three days, IMMERSION/S celebrates a rich cultural heritage carried by rare trades, with unique techniques and practices. Previous editions have been a true crossroads of exchanges between artistic sensitivities and artisanal skills, giving birth to unprecedented collaborations and pieces specially created for the fair.

The participating Artisans are part of a multidisciplinary dynamic while preserving what makes French craftsmanship strong: uniqueness.

The fair also allows visitors to discover the central role of the FAFCEA in the development of artisanal skills, by financing training adapted to the sector's evolution and supporting the sustainability of businesses.

The transmission and mastery of knowledge remain essential levers for longevity. Being artisans above all, the members of the Board of Directors wished to highlight the excellence of the Art Trades by opening the doors
of the FAFCEA to those who embody all its richness.
