VAI announces 2-month residency for a current member at Centre Culturel Irlandais, Paris

For over two decades, the Centre Culturel Irlandais’ annual residency programme has offered great opportunities to over 450 artists of all disciplines. Tapping into the resources of the CCI and the city of Paris has been described as ‘transformational’ by many former residents. For the CCI, the residencies are an important means of supporting artists and showcasing Ireland’s dynamic contemporary culture on an international stage.

Applicants must be Irish citizens or normally resident on the island of Ireland, with professional involvement in creative practice.
Residencies of 1 to 3 months will be awarded for the period August 2024 – June 2025.
Travel from Ireland, accommodation and a monthly stipend are included.

CCI are delighted to be pursuing partnerships with Irish cultural organisations to support the 2024-2025 residency programme:
