أَعْلَنَ مُنَظِّمُو مَعْرِضِ «آرْت بَازِل بَارِيس» أَنَّهُ سَيُغْلِقُ أَبْوَابَهُ مُبَكِّرًا. وَكَانَ مِنَ الْمُقَرَّرِ أَنْ يَسْتَمِرَّ الْمَعْرِضُ حَتَّى يَوْمِ الْأَحَدِ، لَكِنَّهُ سَيُغْلَقُ مَسَاءَ الْجُمُعَةِ، الثَّالِثِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ أُكْتُوبَرَ.

قَالَ الْمُنَظِّمُونَ إِنَّ الْقَرَارَ جَاءَ بِسَبَبِ مُظَاهَرَاتٍ مُتَوَقَّعَةٍ فِي بَارِيسَ، وَلِحِمَايَةِ الزُّوَّارِ وَالْفَنَّانِينَ وَالْأَعْمَالِ الْفَنِّيَّةِ. وَسَيَبْقَى الْمَعْرِضُ مُغْلَقًا يَوْمَيِ السَّبْتِ وَالْأَحَدِ.

وَشَارَكَتْ صَالَةُ «أَثَر» السُّعُودِيَّةُ فِي الْمَعْرِضِ، وَعَرَضَتْ أَعْمَالَ سِتَّةِ فَنَّانِينَ: خَمْسَةٍ مِنَ السُّعُودِيَّةِ وَوَاحِدٍ مِنَ الْإِمَارَاتِ. وَأُقِيمَ الْمَعْرِضُ فِي قَاعَةِ الْقَصْرِ الْكَبِيرِ فِي بَارِيسَ. وَكَانَ مِنَ الْمُقَرَّرِ أَنْ يَسْتَقْبِلَ الزُّوَّارَ حَتَّى الْخَامِسِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ أُكْتُوبَرَ.
