MAISON FANTON

Maison Fanton is Fonds Fanton's forthcoming international artist residency and studio program based in Arles, France. Rooted in the city's historic and contemporary cultural landscape, the program will provide artists with living accommodations, studio space, and the resources to advance their practice while connecting with the local community.

ARTIST RESIDENCY

At the heart of Maison Fanton is an ambitious vision: to give artists the freedom to pursue their work without the financial and practical constraints that so often limit creative possibility.

Our long-term goal is to provide fully funded residencies encompassing travel, accommodations, living stipends, studio facilities, and resources for artistic production. We envision an experience built around the individual artist, offering the freedom to experiment, take risks, revisit existing work, or pursue entirely new directions without prescribed outcomes.

As the program develops, residents will also have opportunities to share their work through exhibitions, open studios, and public exchanges, contributing to the cultural life of Arles while retaining their creative independence. As the collection develops, residents will also be invited, though never required, to contribute a work to the Fonds Fanton Collection, leaving a lasting trace of their time in Arles and supporting the artists who follow.

Further information about residency opportunities and applications will be announced as the program takes shape.
