Artist Residencies

La Boule d'Or has a residency program dedicated to supporting artists across various disciplines through creation and research periods ranging from two weeks to one month. We value the uniqueness of each project and encourage artists to apply by sending us an email with a brief project description, their bio/CV, and a link to their portfolio or website.

Given the volume of applications we receive and our limited staff, we ask for your patience in awaiting a response. This opportunity is designed to facilitate meaningful artistic development in a focused setting.
