Applicants should have had a practice for, at a minimum, the previous 5 years.
Since 1971, the Camargo Foundation in Cassis (France) has awarded residencies to more than 1,500 individuals through its flagship program.
It illustrates its mission to support groundbreaking research, experimentation, and interdisciplinary approaches in the Arts and Humanities.
Each year, a panel of scholars and arts professionals selects individuals or teams from hundreds of submissions from around the world. The laureates are awarded a 10 weeks residency in a stunning, contemplative environment where they have the space, time, and freedom to think, create, and connect. For this upcoming 2027 - 2028 edition, 14 applicants will be selected. With each cohort of fellows, the Camargo Foundation strives to foster connections between research and creation.
Call for applications now open for residencies in fall 2027 and spring 2028!
Changes to the application process
Please note that this year’s open call will, until further notice, be the last one open to the public. Beginning in July 2027, the Camargo Foundation will implement a new selection process that will no longer be based on a public open call. This change is the result of a long process of collective reflection. If you are considering applying for a residency in Fall 2027 or Spring 2028, we encourage you to do so through the current open call.
