"Artists in residence" in the spotlight

A laboratory of artistic innovation

The Centre Pompidou does more than just exhibit the works of the great masters of modern and contemporary art. It is also a true incubator of talent thanks to its artist-in-residence program, which offers emerging creators a space to experiment, innovate and share their vision. These artistic residencies shine the spotlight on art in the making, where inspiration and creativity come to life.

Every year, artists from various disciplines – painting, sculpture, performance, digital art – take over the Centre Pompidou to develop original projects. These residencies are an invitation to explore the boundaries of art , to engage with the public and to constantly renew the museum's dynamic.

When the artist becomes an actor in the museum

The "artists in residence" are not mere observers: they interact with the space, visitors and even the permanent collections of the Centre Pompidou. These creators transform the museum into a living workshop , a place where the public can directly witness the creative process.

This program reflects the very essence of contemporary art: a dialogue in perpetual movement , a reflection on our times, and a bold experimentation with forms and ideas. These residencies also provide crucial visibility to emerging talents, allowing them to present new works in the spotlight of one of the world's most prestigious museums.

A parallel with Paris Virtual Creations

Just as the Centre Pompidou supports its "artists in residence", Paris Créations Virtuelles highlights contemporary creators through its online art gallery . We firmly believe that living art deserves to be shared with as many people as possible, and that each work, whether in progress or completed, tells a unique story.

Our artists, whether emerging or established, are inspired by this philosophy: pushing the boundaries, innovating, and reaching the public through authentic creations. By exploring our gallery, you are also participating in this artistic adventure, supporting talents who are building the future of contemporary art.

Why support contemporary artists?

Contemporary art is a window on our times, a living testimony of its challenges, its beauties and its contradictions. By supporting artists, whether at the Centre Pompidou or through Paris Créations Virtuelles , you become an actor in this creative dialogue. A work of art in your space is not just an object: it is a message, an emotion, a part of history in the making.

Our works, like those of the “artists in residence”, are designed to transform your daily life and awaken your senses.
