A former disused shop transformed into a temple of street art: this is the free event that is taking Paris’s 14th arrondissement by storm. From 3 to 25 October 2026, the Expo des 150 will take over the 2,400 m² of the former Zara shop, located at 14 Avenue du Général-Leclerc, right next to Place Denfert-Rochereau. Organised by the Cabaret du Chat Noir, this event brings together more than 200 artists from the Paris region’s urban art scene for an immersive experience spread over three floors.

Three floors, three artistic atmospheres

Each floor of this 2,400 m² building features a distinct design concept:

On the ground floor — Residences & Art Shop: the ‘Expo des 150’ features a space selling original works, a large art shop and studios where several artists create live before your very eyes.

In the basement — Total immersion: the shop’s former offices have been transformed into a veritable labyrinth of urban art. Huge murals painted directly onto the walls offer a striking journey into the worlds of Jo Di Bona, Ensemble Réel, Codex Urbanus and many others.

An ideal opportunity to unearth a unique piece or simply to explore one of the capital’s most creative pop-up venues before it closes.
