French artist residency

Each year, La Galerie, centre d’art contemporain de Noisy-le-Sec welcomes an artist-in-residence for a period of six or seven months. The artist is supported artistically, logistically and financially by La Galerie. The residency’s goal is to support the production of works, while taking the centre’s wider geographical context into consideration.

Conditions

Artist fee: €7,000
Artwork production: €7,000
With the dedicated support of the Seine Saint-Denis Department.

The artist will be provided with a furnished, 90-m² studio-flat free of charge, in the centre of Noisy-le-Sec, close to La Galerie. Utilities, communication and transport costs are covered by La Galerie.

Selection process

The residency is open to French artists or artists who have been working in France for more than 5 years, whose main activity is artistic work, without age limit, and who have completed their studies.
