Get matched →Thionville Fensch Agglomération is launching a six-week territory residency in 2027 around the theme 'Metamorphoses: From Iron to Life'. Open to artists and artist groups of all disciplines, the call seeks projects combining creation, research, transmission, and engagement with residents. Proposals must be conceived or specifically adapted to the territory and include co-construction with at least one local non-cultural partner. An aid of 15,000 € covers artistic, logistical, and technical costs. The residency will take place between February and September 2027 and will include a public restitution.
Every listing links to the organizer's official page. Always confirm deadlines, fees, and entry rules there before you apply.
Build your proposal from the territory rather than from an existing work. Identify a local partner outside the cultural field as early as the application stage and concretely explain the co-construction. Clearly distinguish between creation, mediation, and restitution. Finally, present a realistic budget, as the 15,000 € must cover all expenses.
The essential point concerns the 15,000 € budget: travel, accommodation, materials, creation, and mediation are included in this envelope. Therefore, it is necessary to precisely calculate what will actually remain available to remunerate the artistic work. The project must be specific to the territory: simply presenting a work or project already conceived elsewhere would greatly weaken the application. Co-construction with at least one local actor outside the cultural sector is explicitly mandatory from the time of submission. Finally, the residency lasts six weeks between February and September 2027 and includes an on-site presence, a collaborative and public restitution, followed by the submission of an activity report and a financial report.
