Drawing Now may not have as many years under its belt as the Salon du Dessin but it is no newcomer to the scene. This year will be its 11th edition and it has a growing audience.
The fair, which is staged in the Carreau du Temple, a former covered market in the 3rd arrondissement, packs in over 70 exhibitors chosen by a selection committee. They come from across France, around Europe and beyond, bringing, as the title implies, works on paper by contemporary artists.
