Institute
for
Ideas
and
Imagination

A residential fellowship for creative artists and scholars

Bringing together faculty from across Columbia University with thinkers, poets, artists, and composers from around the world in Paris, the Institute for Ideas and Imagination welcomes fifteen Fellows each year to work on their own projects and engage in a year-long dialogue with each other.

The SNF Rendez-Vous de l'Institut series presents the Fellows work to the public at Reid Hall, home of the Institute in the heart of Montparnasse.
