Art Explora artist residencies - 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 residency session will start at the beginning of March 2022.

‍

The different residency programs 

The programme 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: 

• SOLOprogramme : for artists only, 6-month residency (2 sessions per year)
