The shop that gives real value to the creations made by autistic people supported by Le Silence des Justes.
Opened in 2021, for the association's 25th anniversary, Artbooster sells art objects and handcrafted wooden pieces — made, presented, and sold by the very people who created them. The woodworking workshop that feeds it has been around far longer: opened in 2012 in Montreuil as part of the association's professional training programs, it has spent over a decade teaching woodworking skills to the people it supports.
Artbooster isn't an art therapy workshop. It's a full-fledged commercial venture, introducing people to every facet of real professional work: producing, showcasing, and selling.

Designing an object someone else will love, adapting to a request, choosing materials and shapes — that's a genuine professional skill in its own right.
Cutting, assembly, finishing — the woodworking workshop also welcomes CAP woodworking apprentices alongside the full-time people it supports.
Since 2025, the activity has expanded into gardening — notably making planter boxes for terraces, gardens, and social housing, in partnership with the local town hall.
Designing an object someone else will love, adapting to a request, choosing materials and shapes — a genuine professional skill, not just personal expression.
Presenting a product, understanding what customers want, setting a price, managing stock — Artbooster introduces people to the reality of running a business, not just making things.
In 2025, the workshop adjusted its production methods to strengthen safety for the people it supports and adapt each task to individual abilities — with concrete results: a growing volume of orders, and real sales.
Involvement is now spread across several parts of the association: 35% with the teen services, 30% with the inclusive unit at ORT high school, and 15% with the Saint-Denis site.
Concrete proof that participation adapts to each person, rather than the other way around.
Every item sold through Artbooster is the result of real work, real learning, and real commitment.
By buying an Artbooster piece, you're getting a quality handcrafted creation — and directly supporting professional inclusion.
