Art Explora Paris Residency 2027: Free Global Digital Art Call, €1,000/Month, Oct 30
Eligible practices and experience
Art Explora Foundation and the Cité internationale des arts are accepting 2027 applications from visual, digital, media and performing artists and researchers worldwide. Around twenty residents join the programme each year to research and produce work in Montmartre, Paris. Nationality and age are unrestricted, but candidates must demonstrate at least five years of professional artistic activity and an international track record of exhibitions or presentations.
Residency funding and duration
The SOLO programme offers an individual artist a three- or six-month residency; COLLECTIVE offers three months for collaborative projects involving artists, researchers or curators. Support includes a furnished live-in studio of approximately 50 square metres, a €1,000 monthly living allowance for the artist, up to €3,000 in production support subject to receipts and project conditions, and a return journey to Paris. Collective grants and housing do not automatically cover every collaborator equally: check the detailed distribution for your proposed team.
