Program Description

At A·R, residencies are considered as a time entirely dedicated to research and experimentation with no obligation to finalize a production. Our goal is to provide artists with the necessary time for qualitative and in-depth research, to promote a true immersion in the local context, and to allow for trial and error as well as critical questioning necessary for the development of artistic practices. Inaugurated in 2020, the 100-day residency program aims at welcoming artists of all ages and nationalities to Clermont-Ferrand for a period of 100 days. Selected artists are free to organize their residency as suited to their availability, whether it be over 100 consecutive days or dispersed over the course of one year. This flexibility takes into consideration the varied realities of artists and allows time for reflection, research and experimentation compatible with the artists’ professional and private obligations.
