The iconic shopping address near the Eiffel Tower is getting ready for summer with its summer event Made in Paris. Until August 11, Beaugrenelle Paris shines a spotlight on the most beautiful city in the world and invites urban and contemporary art across its different floors. So what's on the agenda for this summer? A monumental street art piece, plenty of workshops, spectacular shows... In short, everything needed to make art accessible to everyone and to delight the daily lives of Parisians. Street art at the heart of Beaugrenelle Paris Throughout the entire Made in Paris event, you'll have the opportunity to discover the latest work from an up-and-coming figure in the Parisian street art scene: Jo Di Bona. The artist owes his success to the technique he invented himself, Pop Graffiti, which combines collages, various graffiti influences, and pop culture. He skillfully handles colors...And movements with freedom and panache, to create faces imbued with poetry, emotions, and joy of living. A kind of modern-day Fauvism!

Ever since winning the prestigious 1st Prize for graffiti from the EDF Foundation in 2014, Jo Di Bona has been busy with international exhibitions, performances, and murals. However, he is making a stop this summer at Beaugrenelle Paris in the 15th with a gigantic piece that reimagines the famous Arc de Triomphe, hanging in the heart of the atrium. Trust us, it's worth a visit.


An amazing lineup of events

In parallel with Jo Di Bona's work, Beaugrenelle Paris has prepared a bunch of activities centered around urban art, all highlighting our beloved capital city. For example, there will be street art workshops on Parisian monuments to bring out our artistic creativity with professional artists from the Ateliers du Graff. Additionally, we can meet wandering caricaturists throughout the various floors of the shopping center, just like in Montmartre.

Beaugrenelle will also dazzle you with sensational shows that will delight all urban sports fans. First, with a BMX freestyle performance by Nicolas Fleury, 2015 world champion. Then with a breakdance show that will take us on a journey between performance, symbiosis, and art, performed by the French Wingz company, essential artists of the French hip-hop scene who draw inspiration from the streets of Paris for their stage shows. And the icing on the cake: the company also organizes initiation sessions to bring out the B-girl or B-boy in you. Will we see you there?
