Artistic Practice Studios

Creative spaces open to professional artists.

In the heart of the Marais district, the Cité internationale des arts offers three artistic practice spaces – engraving, screen printing, and ceramics – accessible to professional artists from outside the residence. These spaces dedicated to creation offer a stimulating and functional environment, designed to support the development of ambitious artistic projects.

As a place for artistic practice requiring complete autonomy, artists can apply (CV + portfolio) to join one of these workshops, subject to approval by a committee and availability. Once accepted, it is possible to reserve time slots to ensure balanced and shared use of the spaces between the different users.

Access the art studios

The engraving, screen printing, and ceramics studios, located on the Marais site, allow professional artists, not necessarily artists-in-residence at the Cité, to benefit from a workspace conducive to the development of their creative projects.

This is a place for artistic practice that requires complete autonomy. External artists wishing to join one of these workshops can apply (CV and portfolio) to be reviewed by a committee and allocated a workspace based on availability. They must then reserve time slots for using the workshop to ensure a fair distribution of working time with other users.
