Each year, the Cité internationale des arts deploys a tailor-made residency program, newly named 2-12, open to all disciplines and based on a call for applications.
Focused on the time each artist needs for his or her project, it allows everyone to apply for residencies between two and twelve months.
Eligibility criteria and selection
These residencies are intended for French or foreign artists or curators, in the field of visual arts, music, writing and performing arts, over 18 years of age, with no age limit.
Applicants must submit a residency project.
A committee composed of qualified personalities studies all applications and selects the recipients of the program.
In addition to evaluating the candidate's professional background, the jury members pay particular attention to the quality of the project, the need for the residency in Paris, the work protocol envisaged and the contacts already established.
Conditions of the residency
The studio include a furnished living and working space (work space, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen). All studios are equipped with a wifi internet connection. Some studios are equipped with a piano.
The programme’s recipients are responsible for paying their living expenses for the duration of the residency.
Under this program, the surface area of the available studios varies between 25 and 60 m2.
The amount of the monthly fee is a minimum of 590 €, depending on the surface area of the live-in studio.
A resident may be accompanied by an adult and/or a child (under the age of 7), in which case a supplement is payable.
These rates are valid for the year 2021.
