You can apply for one or both sessions.

All of our residencies take place in Athens, Greece. Every resident has a dedicated workspace in Argo Studios, and accommodation is provided in a spacious shared apartment. Self-directed residencies allow you to focus on a project or practice of your own choice. We provide one-on-one support to help you realize your research and vision, connecting you with local artists and practitioners in Athens and leading guided outings to galleries, studios, and cultural sites. We also host a regular Open Studios, where you can share your practice with the local Athens scene.

Description

Located in a town of 1,500 inhabitants, the residences at Usine Utopik offer a privileged setting for artists to design a project leading to an exhibition. The center helps support artists in all phases of work, from research to dissemination. The Utopik Factory aims to be a space for experimentation and research to support and promote artistic projects, and to encourage meetings with the public through times of exchange, discovery and practice.

The call for residency is aimed at all qualified artists with professional practice in contemporary creation (painting, sculpture, installation, photography, drawing, ceramics, performance, etc.) without age and nationality limits. With six residencies per year, from spring to fall, Usine Utopik simultaneously welcomes three artists. This organization requires collaboration for the exhibition which could give rise to a common artistic project.

Description

Launched in 2005, this biennial reciprocal residency program was initiated by the City of Frankfurt’s Cultural Department, establishing a link between the Centre européen d’actions artistiques contemporaines (CEAAC) in Strasbourg and basis e.V., a non-profit association that fosters and supports emerging international creative work. Notably, the program has supported the work of German artist Arhun Aksakal (2023) and Béatrice Steimer (2025). On the French side, artists Ouissem Moalla (2023) and Alexandre Caretti (2025) benefited from the residency program to bring their projects to life, as well as from a solo exhibition at the CEAAC following the exchange.

The call is open to early- to mid-career artist-author-researchers working in the visual arts across all mediums; there are no age or nationality restrictions, though applicants must demonstrate a connection to the Grand Est region.
