‘223 Visual Art Residencies in France’ (Cnap), 2016

Arts en résidence - National network took part in collective reflections with Cnap, CIPAC, USOPAV, CAAP, FRAAP, amongst others, notably with the aim to allow each structure to express their views on the definition of residency and the content of the edition of the Cnap Guide ‘223 Visual Art Residencies in France’. Interviews with Ann Stouvenel and Mathilde Guyon, co-founders of the network, and Elise Jouvancy, former Head of Residencies at La Malterie and current coordinator of the network, were conducted and published in this guide. Both digital and paper versions are available.

This 2016 publication accelerated the drafting process of the model residency contract, as the Cnap and the DGCA wanted to publish it for this occasion.
