Remai Modern x Cité internationale des arts
Residency programme for Saskatchewan artists and curators
The programme
To support the development of artistic practices and the international visibility of artists from the Canadian Prairies, Remai Modern (Saskatoon) and the Cité internationale des arts (Paris) have launched a residency programme designed to generate new art and relationships. It welcomes artists and curators who wish to carry out a research and creation project in Paris over a three-month period.
The programme offers opportunities to meet with artists and cultural professionals, as well as active participation in the life of the Cité internationale des arts and its community of 310 residents from all disciplines, generations, and backgrounds. Selected artists will benefit from a live-in studio, financial support, and tailored professional guidance aimed at developing their research and work.
This residency programme is part of Remai Modern’s commitment to supporting artistic practice and cultural exchange, and Cite’s role to support artists from all horizons.
