Artist residencies Art Explora - Cité internationale des arts in Paris

This partnership is being deployed on the Montmartre site, a stone's throw from the Sacré-Cœur.

Since 1971, the Cité has been developing residency programs in some forty workshops in eight buildings surrounded by a large wooded garden.

The next session of residencies will start at the beginning of March 2022.

‍

The different residency programs 

The program invites applicants to propose a project that addresses contemporary issues, in particular new technologies, the links between art and science, and environmental and social issues.

Two programs are available: 

• SOLO program: for artists only, 6-month residency (2 sessions per year)
• DUO program: for collaboration between an artist and a researcher, 3-month residency (4 sessions per year)
  

The residency programs are designed to accompany a project in its entirety or just one stage of it.
