REID HALL RESIDENCIES

Applications for the 2026-2027 Reid Hall Residencies are now open. The deadline to apply is April 30, 2026.

Apply here.

Co-sponsored by the Columbia Paris Global Center and the Institute for Ideas and Imagination, the Reid Hall Residencies are designed to support artists and journalists who have had to leave their countries of origin due to extreme circumstances (war, natural disaster, political oppression). The residency includes an annual stipend of €40,000 net (paid in monthly installments), administrative support, and a small office space at Reid Hall, from September 2026 to June 2027. The residency offers time and space to one journalist working on a long-term project. The selected journalist will also be invited to contribute to activities at Reid Hall, such as public lectures, podcasts, workshops, or conferences.

Reid Hall is home to the Columbia Paris Global Center, the Institute for Ideas and Imagination, the Columbia Undergraduate Programs, and Columbia’s Master in History and Literature program. Located in the heart of Montparnasse, it partners with French and European institutions to engage students, faculty, alumni, and the general public across borders and disciplines.

To apply, candidates should complete the application form and submit a short CV, two recent work samples (such as published articles or multimedia pieces), and a project proposal (1 to 3 pages) outlining the work they intend to pursue during the residency.

Please note that applicants must reside in Europe and are responsible for submitting a valid passport and visa that covers the entire period of the residency.
