18 Camargo Core Fellowships for International Artists and Scholars in France

The Camargo Foundation is delighted to offer Camargo Core Fellowship Program
for Artists and Scholars. Three main categories are available, and several
subcategories for artists’ applications.

Research, experiment
& create: Applicants may apply either to a specific project or a specific
area of inquiry on which they would like to
work during the residency. An area
of inquiry should be specific and represent exploration and investigation in
the Fellow’s field. The Camargo Core Program welcomes both open-ended
exploration, or more focused works and long-term research projects.

Scholars: Applicants
should be connected to the Arts and Humanities working on French and
Francophone cultures, including but not limited to cross-cultural studies
that engage the cultures and influences of the Mediterranean region. To be
eligible for a fellowship in the “Scholars” category, applicants are
expected either to hold a PhD and a record of post-doctoral scholarship or
to be PhD candidates completing the final stages of research for, or
writing of, their dissertation.
Thinkers:
this category includes accomplished professionals and practitioners in
cultural and creative fields (such as curators, journalists, critics,
urban planners, independent scholars, etc.) who are professionally engaged
in critical thought. We are interested in work attuned to the theoretical
“arena”, the arts, and society. Like the scholars, they should be working
on French and Francophone cultures, including but not limited to
cross-cultural studies that engage the cultures and influences of the
Mediterranean region.
Artists
(all disciplines): applicants should be the primary creators of a new
work/project and have achieved a track record of publications/performances/exhibitions,
credits, awards and/or grants. We are interested in artists who have a
fully developed, mature artistic voice. Applicants may include those who
have been commissioned for multiple projects. When applying, artists will
have to choose among the following subcategories: Visual Artists /
Choreographers and Performance Artists / Writers and Playwrights / Film,
Video and Digital Artists / Composers and Sound Artists /
Multidisciplinary Artists.
