Paul Davis, a Sag Harbor artist and graphic designer, was chosen to participate in an outdoor exhibition of posters on view in Paris during the past month.

“Celebrate the City” opened on the Champs Elysees on Jan. 19 and will remain on view through Feb. 17. Mr. Davis was one of 39 artists shown from countries as diverse as England, Belgium, Sweden, Denmark, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Poland, Russia, Israel, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, and Argentina.

The show is part of the Fete du Graphisme and was sponsored by the mayor of Paris. The posters are being rotated through various neighborhoods. Mr. Davis’s poster was originally on the Avenue de l’Opera and is now installed on the Rue de Grenelle and Avenue Bosquet in the Seventh Arrondissement.
