At A·R, residencies are considered as a time entirely dedicated to research and experimentation with no obligation to finalize a production. Our goal is to provide artists with the necessary time for qualitative and in-depth research, to promote a true immersion in the local context, and to allow for trial and error as well as critical questioning necessary for the development of artistic practices.
The residency comprises :
- A residency grant of 4,500 euros gross and all taxes included.
- A production budget up to 1000 euros gross and all taxes included.
- Travel costs can be covered up to 800 euros per artist. A·R covers at least one round trip for each selected artist, even if this one round trip exceeds 800 euros. Visa fees are to be covered by the artists. An invitation letter can be provided by A·R to support the visa application or applications for additional mobility grants.
- The accommodation is a private bedroom in a fully equipped three bedroom apartment - with a bathroom and kitchen as well as a garden – shared with other residents. |images here|
- Artists have access to a 160 square meters studio space, shared by up to 3 residents. This studio is located on Artistes en résidence's premises in the multidisciplinary complex La Diode, shared, amongst others, with Les Ateliers, an association that manages 17 studios for local artists on site. Selected artists have access to technical equipment shared between the two associations (equipped wood and metal workshop, portable power tools, two ceramic kilns, MIG welding station, audio-visual equipment, sewing machine, computer room with desktop and an A3 printer/scanner, 3D printer...). |images here|
- Fostering meetings and exchanges, A·R’s team offers mentorship to artists and provides contacts of various art professionals, researchers, craftsmen and women or any other person who can contribute to the development of their practice.
- The artists may, if they wish, organize or take part in a public event during which they can present their work or research. There is no obligation to present their work publicly if artists do not wish to do so. Artists can benefit from a flat fee of 150 euros for up to one public event during their residency.The completed application form accessible at the bottom of this page.
