Applications for Cité Internationale des Arts, one of the most established art institutions in Paris, which was rented by Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (İKSV), are now open for 2024.
The program provides three-month residencies in Paris for artists from diverse disciplines. The artist-in-residence program is currently accepting applications from artists working in various disciplines, such as visual arts, experimental film, design, and performative arts. The program is open until November 2, 2023, for the 2024 periods of January-March, April-June, July-September, and October-December.
The selection process for the program will involve an open call method by a seven-person Selection Committee. The members of the committee are Çelenk Bafra, Özer Dicle, Ayşegül Kurtel, Bige Örer, Ulya Soley, Rüçhan Şahinoğlu and Duygu Şengünler.
The first round of elimination will be conducted by the Selection Committee. The artists who meet the criteria will be invited to the İKSV building to present their art practices and projects that they intend to execute at the Cité Internationale des Arts Turkey Workshop. They will have the opportunity to discuss these with the Selection Committee members as well as the İKSV team.
