Summary

Strolling along a narrow, charming street in the sixth arrondissement, you may pass a tiny storefront where half a dozen men and women dab at canvases propped up against easels. Some are quite good, and it's entertaining to watch their work take shape. But you don't have to be a pro to join them. Artistik Paris highlights all such places around Paris where you can indulge your inner artist and experience the art world on many levels, from painter to viewer of other people's art-and, thus, get to know a completely different facet of the City of Light than most tourists even imagine.
