The Drawing Society
The Drawing Society is the umbrella organisation which consists of two principal axes: the hotel axis that is the Drawing Hotels Collection, comprising the Drawing Hotel in Paris’s first arrondissement and the Drawing House in the 14th arrondissement, and an artistic axis which includes the contemporary drawing fair Drawing Now Art Fair, which will take place at Carreau du Temple from 21st to 24th March 2024, the philanthropic production and exhibition space Drawing Lab (located at 17, rue de Richelieu in Paris) and the cultural engineering centre Drawing on Demand. For nearly 20 years, the mother-daughter duo Christine Phal and Carine Tissot have helped to distribute and promote contemporary drawing, via a unique ecosystem that blends art and hospitality on a human scale. Deeply involved with the artists, they are also collectors who have made drawing a medium with no limits, visible everywhere from exhibition spaces to hotels.
Drawing Hotel
Drawing Hotel est un boutique-hôtel 4 étoiles de 48 chambres situé au cœur de Paris, à quelques pas de la Comédie Française, du Palais-Royal, du Musée du Louvre et du MAD, proche de l’Opéra et des grands-magasins, créé en 2017 par Carine Tissot, entrepreneuse, collectionneuse et directrice générale de la Drawing Society. Il fait la part belle au mobilier d’éditeurs et designers français et internationaux. Elle a été accompagnée dans la concrétisation de celui-ci par le duo d’architectes d’intérieur NIDO. Du petit-déjeuner servi au bar ou dans le patio, au tea-time et jusqu’à l’apéritif servi sur le rooftop, l’équipe réserve un service de qualité et de proximité. Passionnée de dessin contemporain, Carine Tissot a donné carte blanche à 6 artistes pour faire de chaque couloir une œuvre d’art pérenne : Thomas Broomé, Françoise Pétrovitch, Clément Bagot, Abdelkader Benchamma et Lek & Sowat. Stéfane Perraud a investi le pignon de l’hôtel dans le cadre d’ « 1 immeuble 1 œuvre ». L’hôtel abrite également le Drawing Lab, premier centre d’art privé dédié au dessin contemporain. Situé au 17 rue de Richelieu dans le 1er arrondissement à Paris, le Drawing Hotel est une destination unique pensée comme une invitation à découvrir le dessin contemporain.
Miss Fuller
Miss Fuller est un hôtel 4 étoiles de 48 chambres, située à 200 mètres du célèbre Arc de Triomphe de Paris au 11, avenue Mac Mahon — 75017 Paris. Derrière sa magnifique façade en pierre de taille, réalisée en 1894 par l’architecte Louis Marnez dans le style de l’Art nouveau flamboyant, l’agence d’architecture d’intérieur NIDO et les artistes invités remettent au goût du jour ce style caractérisé par l’usage des courbes, des motifs végétaux et d’un fort attrait pour la décoration.
Miss Loïe Fuller est une figure centrale de la scène artistique parisienne de la Belle Époque. Pionnière de la danse moderne, c’est une femme à l’avant garde dont l’influence perdure. À chaque étage de cet écrin d’exception 5 artistes dessinateurs ont été invités à redessiner les codes de l’art nouveau et ont fait de l’hôtel un véritable bijou dans lequel Loïe aurait aimé résider. De la moquette aux papiers-peints, tout est œuvre d’art.
Drawing Now Paris
Drawing Now Paris, the first contemporary art fair dedicated to drawing in Europe, was created in 2007. Every year in March, it welcomes more than 70 international galleries selected by an independent committee. These galleries present more than 400 artists and nearly 2,000 works, representing the diversity of drawing from the last 50 years to the present. Collectors and art lovers are invited to discover the works of emerging and more established artists. The next edition will be held from 26th to 29th March 2026 at the Carreau du Temple in Paris.
The Printemps du Dessin, a national event that lasts until June, is launched on this occasion. It brings together drawing exhibitions held in institutions and art centres and all the activities such as workshops, workshops, conferences and meetings between artists and the public throughout France. Thus, the medium of drawing in all its forms allows the various publics to be closer to the artists and to creation.
Drawing Lab
Founded by Christine Phal in 2017 on a philanthropic model, the Drawing Lab is a private art centre entirely dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of contemporary drawing. By presenting 3 exhibitions a year, it aims above all to be a place for experimentation and production of drawing in all its forms, giving artists the opportunity to take drawing off the page and explore all its facets. In 2022, the Drawing Lab, supported by the Drawing Projects & Friends Association, is launching its €20,000 (excl. VAT) grant for the production and realisation of an exhibition. This annual call for projects is intended́ for a French artist/curator duo or one living in France. In addition to the production of exhibitions, the Drawing Lab ensures communication, dissemination, reception of the public, cultural mediation, publication of a catalogue and the organisation of satellite events for the exhibition.
Located on level -1 of the Drawing Hotel, the Drawing Lab is open every day free of charge. The purpose of the space is to ensure the dissemination of contemporary drawing to all audiences.
The Drawing Lab also hosts the exhibition of the winning artist of the Drawing Now Prize, awarded during the Drawing Now Art Fair. In 2022, the formula will evolve to give greater scope and visibility to the winning artist's practice and to establish this award as a grant for creation where the Drawing sphere - in particular Drawing Now Art Fair and the Drawing Lab - will join forces to offer: 5,000 euros in prize money, 10,000 euros in production aid, a 3-month exhibition at the Drawing Lab and the publication of a monographic catalogue.
