Presentation of the device
What is the Residencies of Artists in Schools in Normandy?
Within the framework of the national plan for arts and cultural education and policies of democratization of access to culture, development and training of the public, the Regional Directorate of Cultural Affairs of Normandy, the Rectorate of the Academy of Normandy, the Directorates of the Departmental Services of National Education, and the Regional Directorate of Food, Agriculture and Forest of Normandy, in partnership with the Departments launch a call for projects for the establishment of artist-residency twinning in schools, schools, higher education or training bodies, acting on school time.
It offers to all schools of the academy of Normandy as well as to institutions of higher education and other institutions (CFA, ...), the possibility of welcoming artists, cultural professionals in residence over a school year and initiating artistic actions radiating on the school year and on a wider educational community.
New for 2023-2024
It is proposed, on an experimental basis, to associate more closely the arts and cultural education project with the artists' creation project, by offering the possibility for artists to receive in addition a grant for time dedicated to their creation, thus increasing the time of presence in the establishment by a minimum of one week.
The solicitation of this grant will be conditional on:
- The development of an artistic memorandum of intent for this creation.
- The explanation of the link between the creative project and the arts and cultural education project.
- An explanation of how these creative times are to be shared with students and the educational community.
- The designation by the establishment of a place made available for that time of creation.
- The one-week mark-up of the artistic presence in the establishment.
The project must be the subject of a restitution by the public concerned and be valued, possibly on digital media (blog, site, mobile application, online edition, sheet on a dedicated portal).

Project content
Within the scope defined by the specifications (can be consulted at the bottom of the page), the content remains free and artists or cultural professionals are invited to imagine all forms of mediation that they consider relevant by using their own practices and/or practices from other disciplines, to raise awareness of their artistic work.
The content of the project must be developed in accordance with the principles of arts education and
cultural: meeting with artists, works and creative processes; artistic practice;
acquisition of knowledge and skills.
A minimum of two classes must be directly involved in the action, with 20 hours of artistic intervention per minimum student. But an influence on the entire educational structure must be sought, through other forms of intervention (meeting of artists, punctual workshops, diffusion of small form in situ, conferences...). The expected artistic presence is a minimum of two weeks.
Proceeding
The DRAC grant of up to €5,000 to the artistic partner (legal entity) represents a maximum of 75% of the project budget (65% for higher education), the institution/structure mobilizes its resources and calls on partners in its sector.
For projects that are closely linked to an artist creation project, a grant of €2,500 dedicated to creation can be requested in addition.
This grant is strictly for the intervention of artists or cultural professionals for the 2023/2024 school year. All project-induced expenditure may be included in the budget but the DRAC grant does not cover the purchase of equipment, ticketing and transport of project beneficiaries.
