Cité Internationale des Arts Residency (2-12 Programme)
About this opportunity
The Cité Internationale des Arts is a vast artists' residence in the heart of Paris, in the Marais district. The 2-12 programme allows individual artists to apply directly for residencies lasting between two and twelve months. With over 300 studios and a truly international community, the Cité offers an unparalleled opportunity to develop new work while engaging with artists and cultural practitioners from around the world.
Application tips
The 2-12 programme requires artists to cover studio fees, so research funding options through your national arts council or cultural foundation before applying. Live-in studios can house up to two adults and a child under 10 (supplement for sharing). The last call ran 18 November 2025 to 19 January 2026. Partner programmes (for example Art Explora, Kultur | lx, Villa Bloch, Caméra libre with the CNC and Prisme with ADAGP) run their own calls with separate deadlines.
