Art Explora, the international foundation that fosters new encounters between arts and audiences, locally, nationally and internationally, is pleased to announce that the call for applications for the Art Explora—Cité internationale des Arts Residency Programme 2025 is now open.
Committed to supporting international artists, Art Explora created in 2021 a biannual residency programme in collaboration with the Cité internationale des arts in Paris. Since its first edition, this residency programme has welcomed over 80 residents of all ages, disciplines and nationalities, at the Cité internationale des arts—Montmartre site in the heart of Paris.
Until November 8, 2024, artists and collectives of artists, researchers and curators from all around the world are invited to apply for this unique residency programme, with projects that question relations between art, science and technology, and address social and ecological issues of our time. The fifth edition of the residency programme will be divided in two sessions of six months, respectively starting in March and September 2025.
In partnership with the new Vila 31 x Art Explora residency program in Albania, two artists will be selected to participate in an exchange between Paris and Tirana. The program consists of a three-month residency at the Villa Montmartre and a three-month residency at Villa Tirana in Albania.
Three programmes are proposed:
–SOLO programme for artists only;
–COLLECTIVE programme for collectives of artists, researchers and curators;
–CROSS programme for artists only of three months in Paris and three months in Tirana
All residents will benefit from a fully-furnished studio for three or six months, production and living grants.
