L'AiR Arts

L’AiR Arts is a not-for-profit organisation (une association à but non lucratif soumise à la loi 1901) with a mission to support intercultural exchange through international arts residency programs. In collaboration with leading arts institutions and professionals, our residency programs support intercultural exchange, research, professional development and contemporary creation – while promoting diversity, inclusion and international understanding through artistic and cultural heritage.

Located in Montparnasse, known as a historic hub for international artists during the 20th century, L’AiR Arts program is dedicated to the intercultural artistic exchange as the legacy of the École de Paris. Working in close partnership with the Cité Falguière Association, since 2021 L'AiR Arts leads a cultural heritage project of preserving the last remaining atelier of the prominent artists community of Cité Falguière. Once home to Gauguin, Modigliani, Soutine, Foujita, and Brancusi, Atelier 11 Cité Falguière now operates as an International Arts Research Residency, hosting artists and cultural professionals from all over the world.

As part of this living heritage initiative, L'AiR Arts welcomes local and international professionals for self-directed individual projects, that run in parallel to curated group programs, partner residencies and events open to a broader community.
