Presentation
The Faculty of Art and Design at Jan Evangelista Purkyně University in Ústí nad Labem (FUD UJEP) and the Cité internationale des arts in Paris have co-developed a research and creation residency programme dedicated to artists who are academics at FUD UJEP or have recently graduated from FUD UJEP or are actually involved in doctoral studies at FUD UJEP.
The aim of this programme is to support and facilitate the mobility of artists from the wider academic ecosystem of FUD UJEP and to strengthen their professional development and involvement in international artistic networks. The partners are committed to supporting each beneficiary’s projects by providing professional support, networking opportunities and full funding for a three-month residency in Paris.
Two artists will be selected to become full-fledged residents of the Cité internationale des arts in Paris.
The selected artists will be supported by a scholarship of €5100 provided by the Rector of Jan Evangelista Purkyně University in Ústí nad Labem, doc. RNDr. Jaroslav Koutský, Ph.D., and the Dean of the Faculty of Art and Design at Jan Evangelista Purkyně University in Ústí nad Labem, prof. Mgr. Zdena Kolečková, Ph.D.
Selected artists will be provided with:
- Professional support, individual meetings and networking opportunities organised by the residency programme partners;
- Live-in studio (one space combining living and work) at the Cité internationale des arts;
- Monthly per diem of €1200 (€3600 in total);
- A contribution to international round-trip transport to Paris airports and travel insurance of up to €500;
- One-time support for research and artistic creation in the amount of €1000.
