On May 15th, L’AiR Arts and Cité Falguière Associations, in partnership with the Île-de-France Region, were pleased to unveil the plaque in recognition of the Atelier 11 Cité Falguière’s heritage.

Awarded in November 2023, the Label Patrimoine d'intérêt régional is bestowed upon sites with significant architectural and historical value. Last month, it was supplemented by a 150 000€ grant towards the restoration of the Atelier 11 as a remarkable building. 

Backed by the Fondation du Patrimoine and Fondation de France, the project requires further support in order to restore and revive Atelier 11’s architectural and artistic heritage. To celebrate its international significance, we’ve created opportunities for everyone from around the world to participate in this living heritage project in a meaningful and rewarding way.

Press Release / Communiqué de presse

To foster intercultural exchange and to celebrate the inclusive history of the École de Paris, L’AiR Arts launches a global call for partner institutions interested in offering art residency opportunities for their candidates at historic Atelier 11 in Paris​. 

With a rich history spanning 150 years, Cité Falguière was once a vibrant hub for the École de Paris movement, boasting the home-ateliers of renowned artists like Gauguin, Foujita, Modigliani, Brancusi, and Soutine. Recently recognized as a heritage site, its last surviving artist studio - Atelier 11, now operates as an International Arts Research Residency. 

This program is designed for artists and cultural professionals from any creative discipline who wish to develop their artistic research and/or project in Paris, for a period of two weeks to two months. Residents must receive support from one or more cultural partners who assume responsibility for covering the costs associated with the residency.

Cultural, academic, and arts institutions worldwide are invited to submit their partnership proposals until September 20th, 2024.
