2026 Programme
For the past 23 years, A.I.R. Vallauris, a non-profit association and Artist Residency programme based in Vallauris, France, has welcomed international artists from all horizons to meet and collaborate with local artists and to research and create new work in an artistic laboratory created specifically for them.
In celebration of our first two decades of operation and as we embark upon our third, we continue pursue our aim to provide an environment for artists that is conducive to and inspiring for new creation. In addition, these experiences are enriched through cultural exchange between participants of different countries, nationalities, and backgrounds and through the sharing of knowledge, techniques and experiences.
We are pleased to announce that we are currently accepting applications for Atelier Tremplin 2026.
The Standard Residency program for 2026 will be available soon.
Our upcoming submission deadline is July 31, 2025. Please click here to know more.
