In the run-up to the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, SPOT24 opens its doors a stone's throw from the Eiffel Tower to showcase the links between art and sport. SPOT24 is not just a place to experience, it's also a cultural venue. For the next year and a half, it will be hosting a permanent exhibition, as well as a series of one-off events which you can visit again and again until December 2024.

SPOT24 – The Olympic exhibition, sport, and urban cultures the event of the new season! Running from Fall 2023 to December 2024, this not-to-miss exhibition looks at the links between sport, art, and urban cultures, through the prism of the new Olympic disciplines. Breaking, BMX freestyle, sport climbing, 3x3 basketball, skateboarding and surfing are all featured in an immersive exhibition for all the family.
A true sensory experience signed François Gautret – to whom we owe the successful Hip-hop 360 exhibition at the Philharmonie de Paris in 2021 and 2022 - this exhibition offers a dedicated space for each of these disciplines, with works by a selection of French and international artists.
The talent on show at SPOT24 - The Olympic exhibition, sport and urban cultures includes PichiAvo, the Spanish street-artist duo, Kraken and his huge murals of sea monsters, Philippe Baudelocque and his masterful chalk works, Nicolas Pierre and his finger skate space in miniature Parisian districts, Alexis Le Diamantaire and his works made from abandoned mirrors, and Reyz, a big name in French graffiti, who will be decorating a life-size recreated metro carriage.
An exhibition that takes a fresh look at Olympic sports and immerses visitors in the world of street art.
