About Opportunity

The French International School in Chicago, US (Lycée Français de Chicago), is launching the 2024 Artists-in-Residence Program (AIR) and welcoming creators from all artistic disciplines. However, this year, there is a particular interest in collaborating with a musician/lyricist who wants to develop an artistic project within a school setting. Participants are required to submit a project idea that they wish to implement during the entire 4-12 week residency program. The curriculum administration will select the best project idea and fund the creator for all travel and living expenses.
