| More About Residency | Cité Internationale des Arts |
To encourage cultural exchanges with as many people as possible, Art Explora’s mission is to renew the dialogue between the Arts and the public on a local, national and international scale. Together with artists, cultural organizations and local actors, the foundation explores contemporary creation in all its forms and creates unique cultural experiences.
Cité internationale des Arts
Since its creation in 1965, the Cité internationale des arts has welcomed artists in residence from all over the world. It is a living space open to dialogue between cultures, where artists meet their audiences and professionals. The Cité internationale des arts extends over two complementary sites, one in the Marais and the other in Montmartre. In partnership with 135 French and international organizations, it welcomes more than 300 artists from all disciplines, all generations and all nationalities every month for two months to one-year residencies. The partnership with the Art Explora Foundation is located on the site of Montmartre, a stone's throw from the Sacré-Cœur. Since 1971, la Cité internationale des arts has been developing residency programmes with a capacity of 40 studios in 8 different buildings located in a park.
