Cultural agenda

Baccarat, a Maison with a history enriched by collaborations with internationally renowned artists, and Alain Ducasse, talent spotter, have embraced the role of curators. One evening per month, they invite artists to the emblematic Baccarat Paris 16th arrondissement ballroom. The ceiling, painted between 1732 and 1733 by the Neapolitan Francisco Solimena, depicts the allegory of “noble deeds to achieve Glory”, a nod to the dream of glory of personalities throughout the world. In keeping with this iconography, the world’s greatest artists and celebrities have celebrated joie de vivre. Following in the footsteps of Luis Bunuel, Salvador Dali, Man Ray, Cocteau, Breton, Diaghilev, Christian Dior, Coco Chanel, and the more contemporary Philippe Starck, Gérard Garouste, Roberto Sambonet, Ettore Sottsass, Andrée Putman, William Sawaya, Jaime Hayon, Virgil Abloh, Marcel Wanders, the future artists invited by Ducasse Baccarat will bring energy to the walls of the maison with their extraordinary sensibility.

On the menu: concerts, conversations, conferences, performances and signings to explore literature, fashion, music, the arts of living, theater… A cultural program that redefines the seasons.
