ADAGP & Cité internationale des arts residency
Because the circulation of artists, their research and their practices is essential to relaunching artistic and cultural life, ADAGP and the Cité internationale des arts are joining forces to set up a new support system.
An artist based outside Ile-de-France will thus be able to benefit for three months from a research residency and professional support from the Cité internationale des arts.
If public, associative or private initiatives have tended since the second half of the twentieth century to rebalance the cultural disparities caused by a geography that has been centralized for too long, Paris remains a privileged place for meetings and opportunities.
In order to meet the specific needs of artists wishing to nurture their artistic projects and their professional career in the Parisian context and network, this residency will be completed by à professional support from the Cité internationale des arts team.

• A 3-month residency at the Cité internationale des arts (site of the Marais) from January 2022 to the end of March 2022;

• Networking with all artists of all nationalities, disciplines and generations in residence, as well as with outside professionals depending on the winner's projects.

Divers questions
Housing workshops
With an area varying from 25 to 60m2, the housing workshops are designed to combine production and daily life. They consist of a working room, a kitchen, a bathroom and a sleeping area.
A workshop can accommodate up to two adults and a child up to 7 years old.
Collective applications
Collective applications must be made as follows, depending on the case:
• the project is common: a single application in the name of the two artists
• the projects are different: two separate applications must be submitted (please indicate in the "miscellaneous remarks" at the end of the form that you wish to share a housing workshop and specify the name of the second candidate).
Applications selected for collective projects including more than two artists remain exceptional given the low number of adapted housing workshops.
Accessibility
We regret that the housing workshops offered do not meet current standards of accessibility for people with disabilities, and we are working on them for the future.
