Vernissage: Colours of the World
A collective exhibition by Afro-diasporic artists exploring identity through painting and sculpture.
The Art That Brings Us Together
Art events, cultural evenings & celebrations of Afro-diasporic creativity
Palette Ébène was born from a simple, deep conviction: African and diaspora art deserves a stage worthy of it — sumptuous, authentic, vibrant with life.
Founded in Paris, our collective brings together visual artists, musicians, poets and curators around a shared passion: celebrating the infinite richness of African cultures and the global diaspora.
Since our first vernissage, Palette Ébène has welcomed hundreds of visitors at unforgettable events. Every evening is designed as a work of art in itself — a space to see, hear, feel and belong.
Real works, committed artists, stories that resonate.
Honouring the past to illuminate the present and invent the future.
Building together a space of belonging, dialogue and joy.
Every event is a unique celebration of African and diaspora cultural richness.
