Every year, the Cité internationale des arts launches a residency program intitled 2—12 , open to all artistic disciplines (visual arts, performing arts, music and writing).
Offering the research time required by each artist, this program gives everyone the opportunity to apply upon submission of a project, for residencies lasting between two and twelve months, between September 2024 and August 2025.
Participation in the 2—12 program enables artists to benefit from networking with the community of 325 artists in residence, of all nationalities, disciplines and generations, as well as with external professionals, depending on the project.

To better respond to the needs of artists, there are two residency optiions this year as part of the 2-12 porgramme :
• Live-in studio residency ; a living and a working space
• Working studio residency, without accomodation
The recipients of this program are responsible for financing their residency, whether they are applying for a live-in studio or a working studio.
The live-in studio option includes the provision of furnished accommodation (bedroom, bathroom, kitchen) and a workspace for the duration of the residency on the Marais or the Montmartre site of the Cité internationale des arts. They are equipped with a wifi Internet connection. Some can be equipped with pianos. The surface area of the live-in studios varies between 25 to 50 m². The provisional minimum monthly fee is €627, which may vary according to the size of the space (these rates are to be confirmed upon selection and may evolve in 2025). Residents may share their accommodation with an adult and/or a child under 7 years old, for which a supplement will be charged.
The working studio option is for artists and culture professionals who only need a working space. This option is organized around the provision of a furnished workspace (work table, seating, shelves) with a collective water point, located on the Montmartre site of the Cité internationale des arts, for the duration of the residency. Working studios vary in size, from 30 to 40 m², and are all equipped with a wifi Internet connection. The provisionnal minimum monthly fee for a working studio is between €258 and €680, depending on the size of the space (these rates are to be confirmed upon selection and may evolve in 2025).
