38 Riv is a performance space situated in the 13th arrondissement of Paris, specifically at 38 Rue de Rivoli. Originally a furniture warehouse, it was occupied by artists in the early 1990s as part of a larger movement to reclaim abandoned spaces for cultural use. The building subsequently became legally recognized as a cultural center and now hosts a diverse program of concerts, exhibitions, workshops, and performances focusing on experimental and independent arts. It's known for its raw industrial aesthetic and intimate atmosphere which supports emerging & established artists alike. The venue is operated by an association dedicated to supporting artistic creation.
