Those selected will have the opportunity to stay in Paris for six months, during which they will receive support from the Samsung Foundation, including a dedicated studio, activity support, living expenses, and airfare.
Cité internationale des arts, established in 1965, serves as a global artistic hub for artists from various genres, including music, dance, literature, and the visual arts. The Samsung Cultural Foundation has been leasing workspaces at this location since 1996, supporting promising contemporary artists like Jo Yong Shin, Yoon Ae Young, Sojung Jun, Ayoung Kim, and Yeom Ji Hye.
A notable change is that, in addition to artists, researchers are now eligible to apply across all fields of the arts, including traditional and contemporary arts. This shift aims to promote the development of art, theory, and institutional research by allowing exhibition curators, theorists, critics, and art historians to apply. Detailed recruitment guidelines and application procedures can be found on the Samsung Cultural Foundation’s official website.
