Académie des beaux-arts x Cité internationale des arts
Programme for international visual artists, architects and choreographers
Programme
The Académie des beaux-arts and the Cité internationale des arts wished to strengthen their long-standing partnership and jointly develop programmes to host French and international artists in residence.
For the Académie des beaux-arts, this programme is part of an overall project to host artists and researchers in residence at several of the sites it owns (Villa Dufraine in Chars, Bibliothèque et Villa Marmottan in Boulogne-Billancourt, Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat) or at institutions in which it is a partner (Villa Médicis, Casa de Velázquez, Château de Lourmarin, Villa Albertine, etc.).
Within the Cité internationale des arts, this programme encourages mobility and encounters between artists on the international scene. It is in line with the institution’s approach of developing partnerships to provide financial and professional support for artists, while offering tailored assistance and opening up to the Parisian context and artistic network.
