Summer residences for our members

Eager to better respond to the reality and needs of its members, the artists-run Center, CIRCA art actuel is proud to set up a residency project.

Throughout the summer of 2019, four artists members of CIRCA will have access to the two galleries of the Center, to explore and deepen their artistic research.

For a few months, our space of diffusion will thus be transformed into a space of creation. In order to discover artists’ processes and working methods, certain time slots will be open to the public to make CIRCA art actual a link of meetings and exchanges. These dates will be announced shortly.
