Cité Int'l des Arts

The Cité internationale des arts is the largest artist residency in the world. Since 1965, it brings together, simultaneously, more than 300 artists of all origins and generations in the heart of Paris, enabling them to carry out creative or research projects in all disciplines (visual arts, music, film, design and architecture, performing arts, exhibition curation, etc.).

Over periods of two months to a year, the Cité internationale des arts (a nonprofit private foundation, recognized as a public-benefit organization under French law) welcomes residents in the Marais district or Montmartre in an environment that fosters creativity, while also providing opportunities for meeting and exchanging with other arts and culture professionals and the general public. The Cité also ensures each artist receives the support they need during their residence.
