Centre International d’Accueil et d’Echanges des Récollets Paris
The Centre receives all-year artists and researchers from different countries and nationalities supported by international organizations.
The Dena Foundation residency takes place in fall.
The program gathers a group of artists selected by scientific committees, by invitation only, and is managed by a director.
This program aims at promoting artists' mobility and at introducing them to the French and international art scene. Thanks to the one-to-one studio visits and the guided visits organized all along the residency to their "atelier", the artists benefit from the advice and feedback of renown art critics and curators, directors of international institutions, gallery owners, collectors and prominent artists.
The program represents as well an opportunity to explore the cultural scene of Paris, with the organization of number of visits to the current exhibitions. The stimulating atmosphere of exchange is a great occasion for developing artistic projects, and making valuable contacts through all these encounters. The artists are called to participate to the Dena Foundation activities and round tables or exhibitions.
The artists are housed in independent studio apartments with residence services.
