L’AiR Arts Residency Program

Paris, France

​L’AiR Arts is committed to supporting intercultural artistic exchange through international arts residency programs, while promoting diversity, inclusion and international understanding through artistic and cultural heritage. Just like L’AiR Arts historical base at Atelier 11, our residency program mirrors the symbol for equality = a horizontal exchange between artists and cultural professionals from various cultural backgrounds, of different ages and genders, working in various disciplines and at all stages of their professional careers.

L’AiR Arts residency program is supported by 4 main pillars:

  • intercultural exchange
  • research
  • professional development and;
  • contemporary creation

The purpose of L'AiR Arts multidisciplinary residency programs is to foster cross-cultural exchanges and collaborations between international artists and cultural professionals within the local art ecosystem. Located in Montparnasse, known as a historic hub for international artists in the beginning of the 20th century, the L’AiR Arts residency program grounds its commitment to contemporary arts within a historical perspective. 

Focusing on intercultural artistic exchange as the legacy of the École de Paris, the program offers an insider’s view into the important role that international artists have played in Paris from the late 19th century to the present day.

Thanks to our current supporters, we are able to offer a number of funded and subsidized residencies, as well as fellowships to cover travel and/or material and research stipend. 

Funded and subsidized residencies are limited and priority is given to candidates from less economically developed parts of the world based on the OECD’s DAC list, as well as artists at risk or in exile.

In addition, we accept submissions from candidates who are funded by other institutions and funders. The contributions help us to offset the costs of upkeep and preservation of the Atelier 11 historic residency, while also creating a nurturing and productive environment for the residents.

Art MSU and University Health and Wellbeing Artist-in-Residence

Art MSU and University Health and Wellbeing Artist-in-Residence

Arts MSU, in partnership with University Health and Wellbeing, is excited to announce the inaugural call for an Artist-in-Residence at Olin Health Center. This initiative promotes a sense of belonging, wellness, and inclusivity among the MSU community through art. We are seeking an artist with experience in
community-engaged mural projects to work in a university health setting. The project will culminate in a new mural installation within the Olin Health Center building on the Michigan State University Campus. The selected artist will work closely with a diverse array of students and staff from the counseling and
psychiatric services at Olin Health Center over the course of the 8-month residency. The goal is to collaboratively design and execute a mural within the student health clinic. 

The Artist-in-Residence project embeds arts in the clinical setting through a new collaboration dedicated to integrating the arts into student wellbeing. By including arts practice into the clinical setting, we aim to improve student health outcomes, specifically within therapeutic groups, and to upgrade the
infrastructure of the clinical building by creating a large mural that speaks to students’ experiences and makes the setting more welcoming and trauma-informed. By incorporating arts practice within therapeutic groups free to students, we reduce barriers to participation.

Eligibility
 

The Witt Residency is open to both established and emerging artists/​designers. The residency provides students an alternate learning opportunity to engage with practicing artists/​designers who can make use of resources across campus, therefore the ideal candidate must value collaboration, have good social and communication skills and be interested in generating creative partnerships across disciplines. It is the goal of the Witt Residency to foster an atmosphere of inventive creative activity that extends throughout the University community.

Honorarium

Witt Residents receive an honorarium of $20,000 for up to twelve weeks in residence served over an academic year. In addition to the honorarium, residents will be provided with housing, studio space, and up to $5,000 funding support for project materials. The School encourages applications from individuals as well as from creative teams however, please be advised that the resources listed above are finite, including the travel budget. If teams apply the expectation is that the award will be shared between its members.

Application Instructions
 

Applicants to the Witt Residency Program submit application materials and portfolios online through SlideRoom, an online portfolio review system. 
 

START YOUR APPLICATION

Using SlideRoom, applicants will register, then:

  • Complete application forms, including resume/​CV and references.
  • Upload media — this may include video, audio, and pdf files.
  • Submit the processing fee

The SlideRoom application offers complete instructions for submitting work. Technical assistance is available at help​.liaisonedu​.com.

SlideRoom requires a nominal $15 application fee to offset the cost of media uploads and storage at the time of submission. The fee is paid by the applicant using a secure system via SlideRoom online as the final step in submitting the application. All funds go directly to SlideRoom, and not the Witt Residency, the Stamps School of Art & Design, or the University of Michigan.
