Cité internationale des arts : Open call for artist residency in Paris
Founded in 1965, the Cité internationale des arts is now the largest artist residence center in the world. The large number of artists welcomed (more than 22,000 since its creation), its ideal location in the center of Paris and its commitment to place artists at the heart of the project all contribute to make the Cité internationale des arts a major figure in the cultural landscape of Paris and internationally.

This ambitious project, born out of the desire to bring artists from all over the world together and gather all disciplines in a single location, gives the Cité internationale des arts a unique status that fosters encounters, artistic crossovers as well as creativity.
Every year, the Cité internationale des arts welcomes more than 1,200 artists from 90 different countries in more than 300 studios in the center of Paris, in Marais and Montmartre districts.
Based on artistic projects of residents, artists and/or curators, the Cité internationale des arts implements a multidisciplinary cultural program in its various facilities: the Galerie (525 m2 of exhibition space), the Corridor, the Auditorium (128 seats) and through its studios by organizing open studio sessions. The Cité internationale des arts also supports projects outside its walls (“hors les murs”) by its residents and participates in bringing them into contact with professionals.
Residents can also benefit from French lessons, work in collective workshops (engraving workshop, silkscreen printing) and use a ceramic stove. Partnerships with other Parisian and Ile-de-France institutions also enable residents to develop their practices outside the walls of the Cité internationale des arts.
