Camargo Fellowship 2025-2026
The Camargo Fellowship is the flagship program of the Camargo Foundation. Since 1971, the Camargo Foundation has awarded residencies to nearly 1,500 individuals as part of its mission to support groundbreaking research, experimentation, and interdisciplinary approaches in the Arts and Humanities.
Each year, a panel of scholars and arts professionals selects individuals or teams from hundreds of submissions from around the world. The laureates are awarded a 10 weeks residency in a stunning, contemplative environment where they have the space, time, and freedom to think, create, and connect. For this upcoming 2025 - 2026 edition, 14 applicants will be selected. With each cohort of fellows, the Camargo Foundation strives to foster connections between research and creation.
ELIGIBILITY
The Camargo Foundation is committed to supporting inclusiveness and a diversity of contemporary reflections and practices, welcoming applicants from around the globe. The Camargo Fellowship offers research-base residencies to applicants from various fields and disciplines. Three main categories are available, as well as several subcategories for artists’ applications.
Scholars in the Arts and Humanities should have a focus on French and Francophone cultures, or cross-cultural studies that engage the cultures and influences of the Mediterranean region. To be eligible for a fellowship in the “Scholars” category, applicants are expected either to hold a PhD and a record of post-doctoral scholarship, or to be PhD candidates completing the final stages of research for, or writing of, their dissertation.
Thinkers include accomplished professionals and practitioners in cultural and creative fields (such as curators, journalists, critics, urban planners, independent scholars, etc.) who are professionally engaged in critical thought. We are interested in work attuned to the theoretical arena, the arts, and society. Thinkers must develop reflections contributing to equitable transitions, and producing plural subjectivities.
Artists should keep in mind that the Camargo Fellowship is a research-based residency. Applicants should have had a practice for, at a minimum, the previous 5 years. They should be the primary creators of new work or a new project. They should be able to demonstrate a track record of publications, public performances and exhibitions, credits, awards, and/or grants.
DEADLINE
Applications must be submitted no later than Tuesday, October 1st, 2024, by 5:59pm EST (e.g., New York City) / 23:59 CET (e.g. Paris). Late and/or incomplete applications will not be reviewed.
