In 2007, the 7th edition of the Salon Jeune Création Européenne has become a travelling contemporary art biennale. It relies on a network of six associated countries which will present, successively, the 85 artists selected: France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Lithuania, Austria completed by 5 other countries: Hungary, Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Slovakia.

The fisrt stage of the travelling biennale was held in Montrouge from September 22nd to October 13th and attracted more than 6 000 visitors, which represents a progression of 20% compared to 2006.
Other associated events attracted 3 000 participants :

- A conference organized in partnership with the “Journal des Arts” on the theme “Between market and institution, what future is there for emerging artists ?”, gathered over 60 students, artist and art professionals. An electronic report of this debate will soon be available on the City of Montrouge’s website www.ville-montrouge.fr.

- The private opening and ceremony for the Grand Prix de la Jeune Création Européenne 2007-2009 awarded to Marie-Odile Hubert, a talented young French photographer.

- A private opening party,” La nuit écarlate”, initiated by the city of Montrouge in 2006 and under the artistic
direction of Communic’Art, has encountered, yet again, a great success. Over 1 500 people came to visit the exhibition
with the art guides from ICART and IESA, and dance until dawn to the sound of DJ Iodah, a Hotel Costes resident and Dj Oliver, a Pershing Hall resident who were accompanied by a remarkable saxophonist and percussionist.

- A public auction orchestrated by Maître Cornette de St Cyr allowed 40 young artists to get works into private collections.

The Salon Jeune Création Européenne has generated great enthusiasm from numerous European cities, wanting to be associated to the event. The ambition of Mr Metton, the Mayor of the City of Montrouge, is to gather 15 countries.
