La Napoule Art Foundation, with the support of Fondation David R. Graham, is pleased to bring together Canadian artists of all genres to a new residency program in which artists will receive inspiration, support, and opportunities for career growth, while strengthening the intercultural connection between Canada and France. Canadian resident artists’ works will be shared and promoted through exhibitions at the Château.
Residency dates: November 4 - December 2, 2024.
10 Canadian artists per residency (20 per year) will enjoy an extraordinary cultural experience to practice their art in the company of other artists in a castle in the South of France.
Acceptance into this residency includes a generous travel and material stipend, room and board, studio space and time and space to create in an awe-inspiring locale.
Established and emerging Canadian artists from any discipline are encouraged to apply.
