# International Artist Residency Fall 2026

**Hosted by:** La Napoule Art Foundation

**Type:** Residency | **Location:** Mandelieu-la-Napoule, France | **Deadline:** April 20, 2026

## About This Program

International group residencies offer up to eight artists the opportunity to live and work at the Château de La Napoule complex. These residencies focus on individual artistic expression and exploration. At the core is a belief in the value of the shared experience of personal, professional, and artistic discovery that takes place within a supportive environment of peers. Residencies are open to all artistic genres.

Residents are housed in single rooms in the recently renovated Villa Marguerite, located across a small street from the Château. Rooms are equipped with private baths and each has sea or garden views. Wireless internet is available in the Villa's common areas. Linen service is provided weekly. There is a washing machine, dryer, and clothesline at the Villa for residents' use.

LNAF provides breakfast and dinner on weekdays. Meals are often held in the Château's gothic dining room, providing the opportunity for exchange and community. For lunches and weekend meals, residents have full access to the kitchen in the Villa Marguerite to store and prepare their own food. The village of La Napoule also offers numerous restaurants and cafés just a few blocks from the Villa and Château.

LNAF provides each resident with a stipend, plus a studio space in which to work. Studios are located throughout the Château property, some inside the castle and some in towers on its grounds. Artists are asked to address any specific studio space requirements in their applications.
