LES LÉGENDES DU STREET ART ET DU GRAFFITI SONT À PARIS

From the Gallery:

BEYOND THE STREETS, the world’s most influential exhibition dedicated to graffiti, street art and subculture, opens at the Grande Halle de la Villette in Paris from May 27 and running through August 30,2026.

Spanning 3600 square meters of purpose built gallery space, this expansive exhibition featuring a dynamic retail space brings together over 100 internationally renowned artists,  showcasing new and historic works alongside rare ephemera, archival fashion, and artist-driven installations—most created exclusively for this presentation. 

Anchored in the far-reaching cultural impact of graffiti and street art, BEYOND THE STREETS is not a static exhibition but a living platform—one that traces how an underground movement reshaped cities, language, fashion, music and activism worldwide. From spray-painted subway trains to museum walls and global stages, the exhibition examines how artists once working without permission transformed visual culture on an unprecedented scale.

Every work in BEYOND THE STREETS is presented with the full consent of the artist or estate, often produced specifically for the exhibition. This commitment underscores a core principle of the project: graffiti’s history should be told with integrity, agency and respect. What was once criminalized now stands as a defining creative force of our time—a victory for artists, communities, and the culture itself.
