The open call for the "2-12" program at the Cité internationale des arts is closed.
Results will be announced in April 2023.
2-12 is an annual artist-in-residency programme organised by the Cité internationale des arts that is open to a wide range of disciplines (visual and audiovisual arts, the performing arts, music and writing).
The program’s two-to-twelve-month residencies provide artists with time to do research and the space they need to live, to work or both. Artists can apply for residencies running from September 2023 to August 2024.
In addition to a studio, the 2-12 programme offers networking opportunities within a community of 325 other artists in residence from various disciplines, of different ages and nationalities, as well as – depending on the project – with professionals.
If you are unable to access the online application form, please contact the Cité internationale des arts Residency Department: admissions@citedesartsparis.fr.
To best meet the needs of artists and culture professionals, there are two residency options on offer this year as part of the 2-12 program:
• Live-in studio residency, i.e., a place to live and work;
• Work studio residency, without accommodation.
Whether they are applying for a live-in studio or a workshop without accommodation, the program’s recipients must finance their own residency.
The live-in studio option includes the provision of furnished accommodation (bedroom, bathroom, kitchen) and a workspace for the duration of the residency. Every studio has Wi-Fi and some studios have a piano. The surface area of the live-in studios varies between 25m2 and 60m2. The monthly service charges start at 600€* and depend on the size of the studio.
Residents may share their accommodation with an adult and/or a child under 7 years old, for which a supplement will be charged.
The work studio option is for artists and culture professionals who only need a place to work. This option includes the provision of a furnished workspace (worktable, chairs) equipped with a sink for the duration of the residency.The live-in studios/work studios all have Wi-Fi and vary in size between 30m2 and 40m2. Monthly rent for a workshop starts at 400€* and varies according to its size.
*These rates are valid for 2022 but may change in 2023.
