Arts en Residence – National network has been working since 2010 to structure and increase the visibility of residencies in the French visual arts field. It federates structures which strive for the development of contemporary creation, while guaranteeing ethical working conditions for the artists and art professionals.
In 2022, Maison Salvan (Toulouse), Fernand Léger arts center (Port de Bouc), MEMENTO (Auch), thankyouforcoming (Nice), members of Arts en résidence – National network, are offering a curator and/or art critic the opportunity to take part in a two-month nomadic residency programme (5 September – 6 November 2022) across France, which will allow him/her to travel to these four venues during different stays.
This nomadic residency is to be considered as a meeting and networking residency with numerous art world professionals in the different areas, for which each structure will act as a facilitator. The candidate therefore agrees to be available to meet and dialogue with the local scenes and contexts offered by each of the venues.
The selected curator and/or art critic will receive:
- A total allowance of €4000, including VAT, corresponding to €700 in fees and €300 in per diem per residency period, paid by the host structures.
- Travel expenses up to a maximum of €1500 paid by Arts en Residence.
- National network (covering the travel costs for the entire residency in the 4 structures).
In each of the venues, the curator will benefit from:
- Accommodation.
- A dedicated workspace with a desk and internet connection.
- Personalised mentoring by a member of each structure and general support from the Arts en Residence network.
