Paris Edition
Originating in Art Brut, the conceptual basis of Outsider Art has an invariably deep structuralized history in Paris, France.

The Outsider Art Fair - Paris is therefore, a quintessential part of the integral congruency that withholds the partnership between OAF New York, both of which annually premier at the end of each season every year.

The Outsider Art Fair - Paris, taking place mid to late October originally premiered in Paris France, 2013. The inaugural event was to take place at l' Hotel Le A, at 4 Rue d'Artois 75008 and had held thousands of visitors. The inagural contributors included the American Primitive Gallery in New York, Galerie Christian Berst - Paris, Galerie Luc Berthier - Paris, Henry Boxer Gallery - London, Chris Byrne + Marquand Books - Seattle, WA, Cavin-Morris Gallery -New York,the Creative Growth Art Center - Oakland, Andrew Edlin Gallery - New York, Fleisher-Ollman Gallery - Philadelphia, the Garde Rail Gallery - Austin, Grimaldis Gallery - Baltimore, Gallery at HAI - New York, and the Karen Lennox Gallery - Chicago, IL.

The event, initially situated conveneintly at l'Hotel Le A is just blocks away from the annual FIAC, Four Internationale D'Art Contemporain, or the International Fair of Contemporary Art at La Grand Palais. FIAC, initally beginning in 1974 Paris has been led since 2003 by Jennifer Flay, a New Zealand born French gallery owner and the lead creative director of FIAC.

The Outsider Art Fair has since been relocated to l'Hôtel du Duc at 22 Rue de la Michodière in Paris France. Beginning in 2015 the fair had been relocated to accommodate a greater amount of art dealers totalling 38 vendors in all, including :

2013 - 2016

The fair has most recently been relocated to Atelier Richelieu in the past year of 2018 although various Artists Talks and lectures will continue to incur through L'Hotel le Duc. The new location at Atelier Richelieu, located in the 2nd Arrondissement is more accessible to guests of FIAC at La Grand Palais and supports exhibitions and vendors who work in solidarity with Art Brut in supporting self taught artists who are working outside of the idiosnycranicity of mainstream mass culture.
