Call for applications: fourth artist-in-residence programme at "La Colombière"

This call for applications is intended for students at the end of their studies or recent graduates with five years of higher education from art, landscape and architecture schools in the Loire Valley and beyond the national territory. All forms of expression or artistic disciplines are possible. 

The residence programme takes place at “La Colombière”, bequeathed to the Institut de France, which now owns it. This house was where the sculptor Gustave Pimienta lived and worked for thirty or so years until 1982. 

It is located on the banks of the Loire in the new municipality, Gennes-Val-de-Loire, within the boundary of the Loire Valley World Heritage listed site. Thus, the idea is to align the theme of the residence programme with the reason why the Loire Valley is featured on the World Heritage List, i.e. as a cultural landscape. 

Schedule:

• Closing date for entries: 6 April 2018.
• The names of the selected artists will be communicated on: 14 May 2018 at the latest.
• Provisional dates for the residence programme: from 23 June to 3 August 2018 or from 4 August to 17 September 2018.
