What is the school artist residency in Normandy?
Within the framework of the national plan in favor of artistic 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 the Normandy Forest, in partnership with the Departments launch a call for projects for the establishment of artist-residency twinnings in schools, schools, higher education or training organizations, acting on school time.
It offers all schools of the Academy of Normandy as well as higher education institutions and other institutions (CFA,...), the possibility of welcoming artists, cultural professionals in residence over a school year and initiating artistic actions radiating over the school year and an expanded educational community.
Complementary scholarship 2024-2025
It is again proposed to associate the artistic and cultural education project more closely with the artists' creation project, offering the possibility for artists to receive a grant in addition for time dedicated to their creation, thus increasing the time of presence in the establishment of a minimum week.
The application for this scholarship will be subject to:
- The development of an artistic memorandum of intent for this creation.
- Explaining the link between the creative project and the artistic and cultural education project.
- The explanation of the modalities implemented so that these creation times are shared with the students and the educational community.
- The designation by the establishment of a place made available for this time of creation.
- The increase of one week in the time of artistic presence in the establishment.
The project must be reported by the public concerned and be valued, possibly on digital media (blog, website, mobile application, online edition, file on a dedicated portal).
Objectives of the approach
The call for projects Twinning and artist residencies in Normandy aims to:
- Host artists in cultural action residency,
- Promote encounters with artists, cultural professionals, and diverse artistic practices,
- To mobilize regional cultural institutions, artists and cultural professionals, in mediation actions in particular for the experimentation of innovative forms,
- Promote cultural openness, artistic and cultural education and the discovery of the creative process,

Other partners, can join if they enter into the coherence of the project, like the territorial collectivities but also structures under leisure receptions, entertainment centers, Youth and Culture Centre with Youth and Popular Education accreditation or Social Centres under the Family Allowance Fund.
An educational institution may submit only one project, with the exception of universities.
Projects can cross different types of partner structures. In particular, for the 1st degree, around the question of the link with extracurricular and extra-curricular time and for the 1st and second degrees around cycle 3.
The artist-in-residence twinning projects in arts and cultural education are linked to an artistic or heritage object and integrated into the cultural project of the two partner structures. They provide for the reception of artists for a work of mediation and artistic practice around their works and their creative process.

Project content
Within the scope defined by the specifications (available 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 of 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: encounter 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, at the rate of 20 hours of artistic intervention per student minimum. But an influence on the whole educational structure must be sought, by other forms of intervention (meeting of artists, occasional workshops, diffusion of small form in situ, conferences...). The expected artistic presence is two weeks minimum.
Procedure
The DRAC grant, with a ceiling of €5,000, paid 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 engages its sector partners.
For projects that closely support an artists' creation project, a €2,500 grant dedicated to creation can be applied for in addition.
This grant concerns strictly the intervention of artists or cultural professionals, for the school year 2024/2025. All expenses incurred by the project may be included in the budget but the DRAC grant does not cover the purchase of equipment, ticketing and transport of the project beneficiaries.
For more information on financing, you can consult the specifications that you will find at the bottom of the page.
The projects will be examined by juries made up of representatives of the DRAC Normandie, the Rectorate of the Academy of Normandy, the DSDEN, the Departments, the DRAAF, the ComUE.
The twinning-residencies of artists in arts and cultural education will be subject to an agreement between the two partner structures.
The project leader will make sure to indicate precisely, in the part "Method of evaluation and selected indicators", the indicators that he defines as relevant to evaluate the action qualitatively. These indicators must be recalled on the balance sheet provided in the annex. This sheet will be sent within three months of the end of the project.
The project leaders are committed to
- provide the partners, one month before the start of the action, with the final timetable of the key steps as validated by the partners for the effective implementation of the project.
- include on all documents and communication materials the mention "twinnings – artist residencies, annual partnership scheme in arts and cultural education" and the logos of all partners, in accordance with the graphic charters.
The selected projects will have to be valued by schools/schools on the ADAGE application during the census phase of EAC projects conducted within the school/school during the 2024-2025 school year.
