About
The Cité internationale des arts in Paris hosts over 300 artists at a time and publishes a rolling list of open calls, each run with a funding partner and with its own eligibility. In October 2026 seven calls are live (Hesse, Atlasarts/Morocco, Trame, Kultur lx/Luxembourg, Art Explora, Villa Bloch/Poitiers, Caméra Libre/CNC), with deadlines between 15 October and 16 November 2026.
The Art Explora x Cité call is open to artists and researchers of all nationalities with no age limit and at least five years of professional activity, for proposals addressing contemporary issues such as new technologies, art and science, and environmental and social questions. Solo residencies last 3–6 months; a collective programme lasts 3 months.
Residents receive a furnished live-in studio of about 50 m², a €1,000 monthly living allowance, a production grant of up to €3,000 on receipts and a round trip to Paris.
