Beaux-Arts de Paris
Beaux-Arts de Paris is a place of artistic instruction and experimentation, exhibitions and conservation of historical and contemporary collections, as well as a publishing house. Heir to the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture, founded in the 17th century by Louis XIV, Beaux-Arts de Paris is a public institution under the responsibility of the French Ministry of Culture. It is located on two campuses : one in the St-Germain neighborhood of Paris, and one in St-Ouen.
Its main mission is to educate and train students planning to devote themselves to high-level artistic creation. In accordance with the educational principles that have always prevailed in the School, the course is studio-based under the guidance of renowned artists and is supplemented by a range of theoretical and technical teaching. It provides its 600 students with the fundamental elements they need to develop and sustain their personal artistic undertakings, and a full understanding of what is at issue in making art today.
Beaux-Arts de Paris is a partner of Université Paris Sciences & Lettres (PSL), a community of 25 prestigious Parisian educational institutions.
