The Camargo Core Program is the historical and flagship program of the Foundation. Each year an international call is launched through which 18 fellows (9 artists and 9 scholars/thinkers) are selected.
The Camargo Core Program offers time and space in a contemplative environment to think, create, and connect. By encouraging groundbreaking research and experimentation, it supports the visionary work of artists, scholars, and thinkers in the Arts and Humanities. By encouraging multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches, it intends to foster connections between research and creation.
Residency Periods:
The Camargo Core Program consists of fellowship residencies of six to
eleven weeks. The dates for 2018/2019 are:
• Fall 2018

  • Stipend
    • A stipend of 250 USD per week is available, as is funding for basic transportation to and from Cassis for the Fellow for the residency.
    • In the case of air travel, basic coach class booked far in advance is
      covered.
  • Additional Funding
    • Fellows may not accept gainful employment that will prevent them from focusing on their project while staying at Camargo.
    • Research leave or other forms of sabbatical are allowed, as fees for occasional lectures or participation in seminars.
    • Additional grants with requirements that do not contradict the conditions of the Camargo Fellowship are encouraged.
  • Facilities
    • The Camargo Foundation’s campus includes twelve furnished apartments, a reference library, a music/conference room, an open-air theater, an artist’s studio with darkroom, and a composer’s studio. The Camargo Foundation does not have a dance studio.

    • Spouses/adult partners and dependent minor children may accompany fellows for short stays or for the duration of the residency.

Eligibilities

    • Scholars: applicants should be connected to the Arts and Humanities working on French and Francophone cultures, including but not limited to cross-cultural studies that engage the cultures and influences of the Mediterranean region.
    • Thinkers: this category includes 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.
    • Artists (all disciplines): Applicants should be the primary creators of a new work/project and have achieved a track record of publications/performances/exhibitions, credits, awards and/or grants.

  • Creative writers, including novelists, poets and playwrights who wish to translate their own works into another language, should apply as Artists, even if they hold academic appointments.

  • Accompanying children must be at least six years old upon arrival and
    enrolled in and attending school or organized activities outside the
    Camargo Foundation campus, during the week.
