The Art Explora Foundation is committed to working with public and private actors to support creative initiatives and the circulation of culture in society at large. The aim is to underline the key role of artists in tackling the major challenges and changes of our time.
To this end, Art Explora joined forces in 2021 with the Cité internationale des arts to create a biannual residency program for artists and researchers in the Cité internationale des arts in Montmartre, just a stone’s throw from Sacré-Cœur.
The program gives artists and researchers from all over the world the opportunity to engage in research and creative work in the heart of Paris, in collaboration with the French art scene and professionals. It encourages creation in all its forms, disseminating it to the largest possible public. The residents’ work focuses on different themes, ranging from scientific and technological exploration to major social and environmental issues of our time.
Throughout their residency, the artists benefit from tailor-made support and contact with professionals from the French and international scenes, as well as with the other residents of the Cité internationale des arts. A public program including visits of premises and studios as well as workshops, performances, film screenings is also developped by Art Explora, the Cité internationale des arts and the Académie des beaux-arts.
