The Franco-German cultural institute KULTUR ENSEMBLE PALERMO reunites since 2021 the Institut français Palermo and the Goethe-Institut Palermo. It has been developing an interdisciplinary cultural programme that includes artist residencies. In October 2024, the Bottega, an artist's studio located within the Cantieri Culturali alla Zisa, was inaugurated.
KULTUR ENSEMBLE PALERMO is offering two three-month residencies in 2026. The Franco-German Youth Office is a partner in this call for applications, which funds residencies for people under 36.
