Mission Residence – Artists – Sud-Avesnois (59)

What is the principle of this call for applications?

The community of communes Sud-Avesnois has for several years, initiated and developed, with its partners, education and awareness programs, showing a permanent desire to offer children of the territory, young people and their families, the widest possible access to the cultural and artistic offer. With an ambitious goal of generalization, it was decided to set up since 2017 a local contract of arts education (CLEA) throughout life.

The community of communes Sud-Avesnois and its partners propose a mission residence intended for artists and image art collectives on the theme of: «Listen to the images». Whether it carries a message, a symbol or tells a story, the image speaks to us. Can we listen to the images and talk with them?

The approach is supported in close partnership with Regional Directorate for Cultural Affairs (DRAC) of Hauts-de-France, the Rectorate of the Academy of Lille, the Department of National Education (DSDEN - North) and related to the northern county council and the regional council of Hauts-de-France.

A mission residence is by no means confused with a creation residence since there is no production issue or commission of work. For the artist-resident, it is, more particularly, to engage in an experimental approach of cultural action, in the broad sense, giving to see and understand the artistic research that animates it and the creative processes that it implements, that it shares with the public.
