Rooftop Art Workshops
At Hôtel Dame des Arts, art is experienced in the present. In partnership with Le Paon, we are imagining a series of artistic workshops open to all, designed as creative pauses in the heart of the Left Bank.
Writing, drawing, collage, personal expression… each session invites you to slow down, to explore a gesture, an emotion, an intuition.
An artistic programme at the heart of our Hôtel
Dame des Arts · Paris Rive Gauche
Conceived as genuine experiences, these workshops extend the cultural world of Hôtel Dame des Arts. In collaboration with Le Paon, they come to life in the presence of artists who guide each session and share their practice in a vivid and accessible way.
Each workshop becomes a time for exploration: drawing, painting, collaging, sculpting… gestures we sometimes set aside, rediscovered here without pressure, simply for the joy of creating.
Open to all levels, these sessions invite you to reconnect with your creative impulse, to slow down, to experiment with a material or technique, and to experience a different kind of moment in an inspiring setting.
Through the various dates and themes, this programme brings together contemporary creation, personal expression and the Parisian art of living — with one idea in mind: to create freely, and leave feeling lighter.
THE EXPERIENCES
Paris in Watercolour
An open-air watercolour workshop on the rooftop of Dame des Arts, led by Camille Pontabry.
In the morning, observation and first brushstrokes facing the Parisian rooftops : learning to lay down shapes, play with transparencies, and tame the water.
In the afternoon, a free and sensory exploration of the details that make Paris: chimneys, shutters, urban silhouettes, with the Eiffel Tower as a focal point.
A suspended moment to learn how to look, simplify, and translate the city into watercolour.
Open to all - no experience required.
Materials provided, drink included.
