DISPLACED ARTISTS

Artists currently based in France are invited to apply for a Residency as part of the Displaced Artist Initiatives at Reid Hall, jointly supported by Columbia Global Centers | Paris and the Institute for Ideas and Imagination. This provides support for artists who have had to leave their countries of origin due to extreme circumstances (war, natural disaster, political oppression).

The 2024-2025 applications are now open. Apply here.

The deadline to apply is April 30, 2024.

The year-long residency includes an annual stipend of $50,000 (paid in monthly installments), administrative support, and a small office space at Reid Hall, from September 2024 to June 2025. The residency offers time and space to one writer working on a long-term project. The participant will be invited to contribute to the activities at Reid Hall. These can take the form of public lectures about their work, exhibits, podcasts, workshops, or conferences.

Reid Hall is home to the Columbia Global Centers | Paris, 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.
