Get matched →This partnership agreement between the Cité internationale des arts and the City of Poitiers aims to establish artist residencies in Poitiers. Two artists who have previously held residencies at the Cité internationale des arts will be invited to take up successive residencies at the Villa Bloch each year. The residency is organized for artistic, cultural, and educational purposes, aimed at the widest possible audience, to create conditions for a unique experience fostering an encounter between an artist and the public in a specific region.
For a period of either 3 or 6 months, the artist will be provided with accommodation and a workspace at the Villa Bloch site. The residency will consist of time dedicated to creative work and time devoted to outreach activities (meetings with the public, artistic workshops, etc.), with outreach time not exceeding 30% of the total duration. The City of Poitiers will support the artist throughout the residency in the implementation of their artistic project, as well as in the development and organization of activities aimed at a wide audience.
This scheme is based on artists being fully available for either a 3-month residency or a 6-month residency. It is aimed at artists in the performing arts (playwriting, directing, choreography, musical composition, circus, performance art) who are French-speaking and write in French, who are able to engage with a diverse audience, and who have completed at least one residency at the Cité internationale des arts, or are currently undertaking a residency there. There is no access for residents with reduced mobility.
