Each year, the Residency will invite a group of artists and researchers to live and work in Saint-Cirq-Lapopie. The Residency will provide them with the time, space, and support to experiment, collaborate, and create new work.

Following health requirements, the Residency will be flexible to operate at different times and locations, caring for the residents and their work. While the preference will be to invite them to Saint-Cirq for one-month, other models of residence will be considered as needed.

This one-week Summer Event will bring artists, partners, guests and publics together making Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, a temporary center for artistic creativity.

The Summer Event will present the work developed during the residency and will organize a series of presentations, interventions, performances, and live situations, looking to engage with the public and using a variety of spaces in Saint-Cirq-Lapopie.

Throughout the year, the Program will work with residents and invited guests to produce a series of Publications. These will be dedicated to specific themes and will have an open-format, using online and offline ways to connect with a larger public.

Collaborating with designers, artists, researchers, and academics, the Publications will be a mode to communicate and expand on the interests and character of the Program. At the end of the four-year cycle, the Program will work towards a Book, that will gather all the projects and activities.

Working with the residents, the Program will develop a series of limited editions of print materials and art pieces. Elaborating from the Surrealist’s interest in objects, the Editions will connect to the resident’s projects, forming a collection of the works created during the Residency.
