How to apply for an artist’s studio

The Department of Cultural Affairs aims to boost creativity and access to culture within the Principality. To achieve this, it implements the Prince's Government's cultural policy in collaboration with various institutions, artists, and local partners.

The ten artists' studios managed by the Department are a particularly good example of this. This unique venue welcomes artists to the heart of the Principality's cultural scene, a concept that Prince Rainier III had in mind back in 1996 and which was reaffirmed by H.R.H The Princess of Hanover in 2009.

For this call for applications, the following studios are available:

• One studio without accommodation
• Three studios with accommodation (the beneficiary must arrange this by their own means)

The Department of Cultural Affairs would like to advise applicants that places are limited and reserves the right to refuse any application that is incomplete or has not been submitted within the deadline specified above.

Applications are particularly welcome from international artists whose residency project will enable them to develop their own artwork as well as projects that are in line with Monegasque cultural programmes, to maintain and assure cultural vitality.

If awarded a studio, applicants must take out civil liability insurance for the duration of the residency, proof of which must be provided.
