The association
Composition of the office 2024
The SOCIETE DES ARTISTES FRANÇAIS association was born in 1881 from the will of the State, which wanted the historical Salon, created under Louis XIV, to be henceforth organized by the artists.
From 1901, the GRAND PALAIS, designed and built by artists, all members, became the venue for the Salon and the association.

Alain BAZARD
President of the Painting, Tapestry and Wall Art, Digital Art and Drawing section
The current spirit of this section tends to preserve the rigour of the golden age of the exhibition. Our Jury has adapted to the contemporary era with an openness to all the trends in contemporary art by grouping together paintings, works on paper in all techniques, digital art, art deco and mosaics with quality and creativity as a common denominator. In addition to established artists, we welcome young up-and-coming talents.
Brigitte Teman
President of the Sculpture and Mosaic section
Since the creation of our exhibition, the sculpture section has had a special place and influence. Open to extremely varied techniques, from the most academic to the most contemporary, the jury allows a vast and diversified field of expression. Artists of great quality, with different sensibilities, experiences and techniques can rub shoulders, exchange and exhibit their works together in an exceptional place.
Guy BRAUN
President of the Engraving and Printmaking Section
As the only printmaking section within Art Capital, the jury's ambition is to offer a showcase for established artists while associating them with younger talents. It is from this non-confrontational exchange that the spirit of the exhibition is born, which explains the always joyful atmosphere of the participants. All printmaking techniques are accepted as long as at least one work proposed belongs to the world of engraving.
Jean-Pierre MOSCA
President of the Photography Section
This section is open to all photographic techniques, from Digital Art to digital photography, including old processes (carbon print, gum bichromate etc...) All subjects are also represented, from abstraction to the great classics: still life, portraits, architecture, landscape, aerial photography... Every year, the section welcomes new and young talents who happily join this group of experienced photographers.
Martine DELALEUF
President of the Architecture section
"Architecture is the mother of all arts. (Franck Lloyd Wright) The Architecture section has been featured at the Salon for two centuries. The Salon des Artistes Français is the only one to present Architecture in Art Capital. Resolutely oriented towards young talents with their enthusiasm, their youth, their presence, this section proposes fully accomplished projects on complex subjects that tackle the major current themes of urbanization and ecology.

Our Archives
Since its foundation in the 17th century, the Salon has been keen to preserve traces of its activity.
