Your art insider in Paris since 2012!

Navigating through the exceptionally rich artistic Parisian offer is a big challenge - with the hundreds of art galleries, museums and foundations, artists studios and events. It is fascinating but a little bit overwhelming and changes very fast. Given also the legendary reputation of being an opaque and not welcoming market, this is why city|art insider has been created: make the French art scene more accessible for art lovers and collectors from the all world. We keep up for you!

city|art insider is run by the art consultant Caroline Etter, active in the art world since 1995. Graduated from the Sorbonne University Paris in History of art, she worked for French institutions (Villa Médicis in Rome, Bibliothèque nationale de France) and international press (The Art newspaper/Le Journal des Arts). She’s also been an exhibition curator and an art gallery manager. She is now working as an art consultant for private and corporate clients. She teaches Master degrees at the French university of Paris Cergy and in art management schools. She’s using all this precious knowledge for city I art insider clients.

Special thanks to the Canadian entrepreneur and art collector Carolyn G Smith who cofounded and developed city I art insider while she was living in Paris! Her expertise as an entrepreneur and in communication have been truly decisive. She is now a certified therapist in Toronto (contact).
