Creative Stay For Young Photographers – Pour l’Instant

Pour l’Instant is looking for eight residents for their annual call – Creative Stay For Young Photographers.

A technical centre, fully equipped to professional standards, including a black and white darkroom and a digital workshop is reserved for their exclusive use. In this context, the young artists are invited to create and experiment. They have total carte blanche to work as they wish, stimulated by their encounters, exchanges and the diverse approaches of other participants.

This amounts to a truly unique artistic experience.

This call for application is open to young photography artists.

Number of Scholarships

Scholarship Value

All supplies required for creation, accommodation, breakfast and evening meal from 27 August to 11 September 2010 are fully covered during the residency.

During the residency, the selected artists must produce an exhibition. Created works will be exhibited at the end of the stay until 24 October, and will then be added to the collection of works constituted over the years by the association.

Only those applications that include sufficient stamped, self-addressed packaging can be returned.
