Here at VINGT Paris, we pride ourselves on going the extra mile to ensure our clients enjoy the very best of the city – from access to the leading sporting fixtures and invites to exclusive art previews to securing tables at the hippest restaurants. 

With that in mind, we are delighted to have teamed up with the private members’ club conceived by David Lynch, SILENCIO, to offer our clients entrance to their unique members-only events. 

With an emphasis on the city’s creative communities, this exclusive club hosts an eclectic programme of events, ranging from concerts and exhibitions to special talks and DJ sets.

Each week, the club stages several intimate concerts, featuring everything from up-and-coming artists to renowned bands from the French and international music scene. There are also regular performances of dance shows and plays, produced in collaboration with major cultural institutions, and fascinating lectures by artists, curators and designers. 

In addition, every six to eight weeks, SILENCIO hosts the work of a renowned photographer in collaboration with Parisian and international galleries. The club has also welcomed tailor-made creations, such as sculptures, objects and videos, by well-known artists.

Each year, the club also stages a series of special events for the international contemporary art fair, FIAC, in October – as well as Paris Photo in November. 

It all unfolds at its exclusive venue in the central district of rue Montmartre in the 2nd arrondissement. Home to an intimate cinema, a secret blackroom, a leafy smoking room, a photo gallery and a library, the scene is framed with opulent red velvet, a golden corridor and mirror bars. 

For more information on gaining access to these special cultural events through VINGT Paris, or becoming a member, get in touch with us.
