Paris - Cité internationale des arts residency call

Founded in 1965, Cité internationale des arts welcomes every year more than 1,200 artists from 90 countries in 326 studios in the heart of Paris. Artists from all disciplines but also curators are hosted for residencies that can last from 2 to 12 months.

These residencies are open to French and foreign artists and curators, in the field of Visual Arts, Music, Writings and Performing Arts, aged over 18, for a residence.

Twice a year (Spring and Autumn), the Cité internationale des arts organizes peer-sessions dedicated to different disciplines: Visual Arts, Music, Writing and Performing Arts. About sixty studios are allocated during each peer-sessions. Thematic juries are gathered according to those disciplines. These peer-sessions allocate 30% of the Cité internationale des arts housing studios, with 70% of the housing studios allocated by partners.

The ambitious project of the Cité internationale des arts is to gather in one place artists from all around the world and to give them the best condition to encourage encounters, artistic crossovers and creativity. It is a place open to dialogue between cultures, where artists meet their audiences and professionals.
