The Residency Program:

The AFM-PARP is conceived as a structured visit to France by a Filipino visual artist for a minimum of two (2) months and a maximum of three (3) months.  The residency will be hosted by a bona fide non-profit cultural organization, e.g., an art school, museum, or an artist-run initiative. It is conceived as a professional opportunity rather than a project-based grant. One residency will be offered annually.  The program is open to visual artists including painters, sculptors, installation and multimedia artists, and photographers. It aims to broaden professional networks between contemporary art communities in the Philippines and France.  The residency also aims to enrich the experience of local artists within the contemporary art scene in France.  It is an opportunity for the grantee to develop professional opportunities and foster bilateral relationships. The AFM-PARP will provide Filipino artists with a financial grant to cover costs for travel and living expenses.
