A Success Story
Making a success of the press campaign of the first "Greater Paris Photo Month" leading to the doubling of public attendance
Our mission
Le Mois de la Photo du Grand Paris (Greater Paris Photo Month), the essential new photography event in Paris, organised by François Hébel, entrusted Communic’Art with a press relations mission for the launch of its latest edition in 2017.
La Mois de la Photo had reached an historic turning point, by extending to Greater Paris. This was a major project aimed at creating a flow of exchanges from either side of the Paris “périphérique” which is a road which between the city and the suburbs, built in the sixties, which has always acted as a psychological barrier as well as geographical.
96 original exhibitions, spread over 32 towns and organised by art centres, galleries and heritage sites, offered an international panorama of reputed and lesser known artists, with the presence of contemporary French photographers in numbers never seen previously.
We had to do things big …
