So, whether you're a talented painter, a budding sculptor, or simply a curious soul looking to pick up new skills, the doors of Beaux-Arts are open for you, so that the world of visual arts holds no secrets for you.
“I want to make art with you”
Architecture, 3D, comics, animation cinema, drawing, writing, engraving, as well as art history, molding, painting, performance, photography, and sculpture… The list of workshops is so extensive that we couldn't possibly name them all. But one thing's for sure, it's one of the best deals for the 2026 back-to-school season. Spread out...
on 15 sites across 12 of the 20 districts, these weekly classes last between 3 and 4 hours and are scheduled to fit around working hours: from Monday to Saturday, 9 AM to 10 PM.As for the price, it is calculated based on the family quotient and depends on the chosen discipline. The lowest price is €138 for the entire year, and non-Paris residents are actually charged an additional 25%. Available from the age of 16, these workshops are open to both beginners and accomplished artists. Their goal is simply to help you unlock your creativity in the best possible conditions.

And that's not all ?
While the program "I want to make art with you" is run by the city of Paris, the Beaux-Arts have also launched a independent program: the New Academy of Amateurs (NABA). The disciplines are more limited here, focusing only on drawing, modeling, and painting, as well as the learning locations : most workshops take place at the historic site of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, with just one module in Saint-Ouen.
Open from the age of 16, these courses only last for one semester. They are demanding introductory courses, taught by renowned artists who are graduates of the Beaux-Arts. In terms of budget, the fees are higher than for the first program, starting at 408 € and going up to 816 € for the most advanced classes.
