Artist Residencies

IN THE BEAUTY AND SOLITUDE OF SOUTHERN FRANCE

La Napoule Art Foundation offers time and space for creative minds to engage in cultural interchange and meaningful work that impacts the world of the common good, by providing residency opportunities for accomplished and emerging artists from around the world.

INTERNATIONAL ARTIST RESIDENCY

This residency offers up to ten artists of all disciplines a four week period to live and work at the Château de La Napoule. At its core is a belief in the value of the shared experience of personal, professional, and artistic discovery that takes place within a supportive environment of peers. This program promotes opportunities for cross-cultural dialogue, artistic exchange, and exploration of a shared interest in the greater good.
