About Opportunity

The Art Explora Foundation, in collaboration with the Cité Internationale des Arts, cordially invites approximately twenty international residents, artists and researchers, to partake in a residency program situated in Paris, France. The program spans a duration of 3 to 6 months. It encompasses a variety of artistic disciplines, such as visual arts, performing arts, digital arts, as well as art criticism and curation. This initiative encourages residents to conceive and execute a project that engages with contemporary concerns, including but not limited to new technologies, the intersection of art and science, and environmental, political, and social issues.

About Organizer

The principal mission of Art Explora is to facilitate cultural exchanges with a broad spectrum of individuals, seeking to reinvigorate the dialogue between the arts and the public on both local and international scales.
Since its establishment in 1965, the Cité Internationale des Arts has been a host to artists participating in residency programs hailing from diverse global origins.
