Cité internationale des arts
A six-month multidisciplinary residency in Paris for emerging artists exploring ecological conditions of existence and collective creative research.
In Situ is a six-month multidisciplinary residency programme at the Cité internationale des arts in Paris, running from 5 January to 28 June 2027. Developed in partnership with the Fondation Daniel and Nina Carasso, it brings together ten emerging artists from across visual arts and performance, music and sound research, performing arts, design, writing, architecture and urbanism, curating and art criticism.
The 2027 programme is guided by Alexandra McIntosh, Director of the Centre International d'Art et du Paysage on Île de Vassivière (CIAPV), around themes of reciprocity, collective engagement, and our interconnected position within a more-than-human world. The residency alternates between collective exchange and autonomous research, with discussions, workshops, studio visits, and two week-long immersion periods on Vassivière Island and the Plateau de Millevaches — a region long associated with practices of resistance and experimental living.
Each resident receives a live-in studio on the Marais site, access to shared collective spaces, a monthly stipend of €1,000, a research and production grant of €2,000, and reimbursement of travel costs. Professional support, networking, and exhibition visits are woven throughout the programme, alongside access to the wider community of over 300 residents of all disciplines, generations and nationalities.
The programme is open to emerging artists who have been professionally active within the last ten years and are resident within the European Union. All nationalities are welcome provided they reside in the EU and can engage in English. Group applications (duos or collectives) are accepted, though they will receive one studio, one monthly stipend, one production grant, and one travel reimbursement.
To apply, you will need: a CV in English (max 4 pages), a letter of intent in English (max 4 pages), a portfolio of recent and in-progress work (max 15 pages), and proof of EU residency. Applications are submitted online via Google Forms. Results will be announced at the end of October 2026.
