Applications Open for Camargo Core Program: Offering Time and Space in a Contemplative Environment

Deadline: 17 October 2017

Camarago Foundation is seeking applications for its Camargo Core Program that offers time and space in a contemplative environment to think, create, and connect. By encouraging groundbreaking research and experimentation, it supports the visionary work of artists, scholars and thinkers in the Arts and Humanities. By encouraging multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches, it intends to foster connections between research and creation.

Purpose of the residency

• Research, experiment & create: applicants may apply either with 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.
• Exchange & network: during the residency, discussions are held regularly to foster cross-disciplinary exchange between Fellows. In addition, the Camargo Foundation’s Staff provides formal and informal links with local professionals to develop possible creative collaborations between the Fellow and the region.

Benefits

A stipend of 250 USD per week is available, as is funding for basic transportation to and from Cassis for the Fellow for the residency. In the case of air travel, basic coach class booked far in advance is covered.

Residency Periods

The Camargo Core Program consists of fellowship residencies of six to eleven weeks. The dates for 2018/2019 are:

• Fall 2018
  • 8 weeks from September 11 to November 6
• Spring 2019
