Description

This residency is for a local visual artist who is within commuting distance of the Hugo Burge Foundation who is not looking for accommodation but rather a free studio space, a stipend, and support from Charles Poulsen.

This residency is named in honour of Charlie Poulsen’s ‘Skyboat,’ a living sculpture that is located on-site at our Creative Spaces. ‘Skyboat’ comprises a boat supported by an oak frame under which living trees are growing. In time, the trees will grow to support the boat without the frame, leaving the boat to ‘float’ in the trees. The resident will have the opportunity to meet with Charlie and discuss his practice.

Description

The Isolario project invites artists to reflect on the concept of "landfalls" (approdi), defined as a temporary space for stopping, transiting, and connecting different bodies, landscapes, and trajectories. This fragile and transitory condition is tied to human movements and ecological or territorial changes, implying an engagement with alterity without claiming ownership over it.
This theme fits into the context of Le(Serre), a residual and marginal space reclaimed for collective use. The park functions as a territory of unstable coexistence between spontaneous elements, built structures, and the flows of diverse communities.
Artists are called to develop installation projects that explore landing through its environmental, symbolic, and narrative dimensions, using temporary shelters, orientation devices, or imaginary habitats. The artworks will become "temporary islands" designed to trigger new ways of observing, listening to, and understanding the location and the life forms inhabiting it.

Description

The City of Arras, St. Vaast Abbey, and L’être lieu, a community-based contemporary art center, are jointly running an artist residency program. The partners share the common goal of making contemporary art accessible to as many people as possible and aim, through their projects, to foster audience exchange between the organizations. For the past decade, the partners have been developing a joint residency-exhibition program. Each year, each partner independently organizes a residency with the same artist.

For 2026–2027, the program includes: an artist residency at L’être lieu, organized entirely by the association from September 2026 to April 2027; an artist residency at Saint-Vaast during the first half of 2027; an exhibition at L’être lieu, from March to April 2027, showcasing the results of the residency held there.

Description

Every year, the contemporary art center Les Capucins invites applications for a research and experimentation residency, designed to give a professional artist from any field of expression the means to develop original research that will feed into future projects.

The location of the art center, in a rural and mid-mountain area, invites the artist to consider the geographical, historical and cultural specificities of this territory for his or her project. The art center encourages projects with varied approaches, which can be erudite or anecdotal, documentary or fictional, factual or offbeat.
