As part of the Local Arts Education Contract (CLEA) throughout life, the Flanders-Lys Community of Municipalities and its partners are calling for applications for a residency-mission in the direction of artists of all disciplines wishing to seize the theme Art-Sport-Culture. 

What is the principle behind this call for applications? 

In the context of the 2024 Olympic Games, the CCFL and its partners wish to take advantage of this great event to question the links between Art and Sport in singular forms and in co-construction with the actors of the territory.

It is therefore sought in view of this residence-mission which will be deployed on the territory of the Community of communes Flandre Lys, an artist, a company or a collective of any discipline wishing to grasp, the theme Art-Sport-Culture, in the dissemination, the co-construction of dedicated projects, or the occasional re-design of public spaces Flanders Lys.
Questioning the movement, the body at stake, the performance, the difference, the commitment, the citizenship, the tension, the confrontation, this residence could make it possible to take an innovative look at the links Art-Sport-Culture by making use of one or more artistic mediums

The residency period, strictly speaking, is scheduled between March and July 2024 (dates to be agreed with the artist or team selected). This is a residence of four full months, consecutive or not, of which the seventeen and a half weeks of physical presence (a total of 90 days) must start over the period of residence. These dates are adjustable to a few days.
