Cité internationale des arts: In Situ Residency Programme 2025–26 (France)

In-person mobility

Open for:

Individuals / Organisations & Collectives Artists, Curators Architecture, Literature, Music & Sound, Performing Arts, Visual Arts & Design

In Situ is a multidisciplinary residency programme which aims to be both a time and a space for encounters, collective work and individual research, at the Cité internationale des arts residency center, but also an area for the production of knowledge and thematic work around the conditions of existence.

This programme brings together ten artists – from the fields of visual arts and performance, music and sound research, performing arts, design, writing, architecture and urbanism, curating and art criticism – for a period of six months, in Paris and on the marais site of the Cité internationale des arts, around a collective and individual dynamic, and a line of work proposed by a guest researcher.

The programme focuses on an individual and collective approach to ecological conditions of existence which take into account the reality of a changing world and invent, explore, and experiment with possible modes of action. In Situ places particular emphasis on supporting professionalisation of emerging artists, offering them a framework conducive to research, creation and exchange.

It is open to candidates of all nationalities residing within the European Union and at capacity to express themselves and exchange in English. Group applications (duo, collective) are accepted but will have access to one single live-in studio, one single monthly stipend, one single production grant, and the single payment of transportation costs.

The residency programme includes the following:

• Professional support, meetings and networking opportunities
• The provision of a live-in studio, as well as a common space from 3 October 2025 to 26 March 2026
• A monthly stipend of 1,000 EUR;
• A research and production grant of 2,000 EUR;
• Reimbursement of transportation costs from the place of residence to the Cité internationale des arts.
