Open Studios

A unique place to live and work for artists of all nationalities, disciplines, and generations, the Cité internationale des arts offers the public special opportunities to meet the residents and have direct and free access to the creative process in all its diversity.

Every Wednesday from 6 pm to 9 pm, the Cité opens its doors on the Marais site and invites professionals and amateurs alike to discover the works and ongoing research of 6 to 10 artists in residence.

Twice a year, for a weekend, the Montmartre site also opens its doors for a series of open workshops, performances, concerts, screenings, and conversations.

These open workshops reflect the Cité internationale des arts’ commitment to supporting artistic creation processes and encouraging spaces for dialogue.
