Camargo Foundation: Fellowship 2027–2028 for Artists, Scholars and Thinkers (France)
Overview
The Camargo Fellowship, administered by the Camargo Foundation, is a residency program rooted in the belief that sustained inquiry and cross-disciplinary exchange are essential to creative and intellectual work. Located in Cassis, France, the fellowship provides selected individuals with the time, space, and community necessary to advance projects that require focused attention. The program is distinguished by its commitment to fostering a collective spirit among residents, where daily interactions and shared meals become part of the generative process. With 14 fellowships awarded annually—seven to artists and seven to scholars and thinkers—the cohort is intentionally balanced to encourage dialogue across fields. The residency is structured around two distinct periods: 8 September to 17 November 2027, and 23 February to 4 May 2028. Fellows are expected to reside in Cassis for the duration of their stay, immersing themselves in the foundation's environment. The program welcomes applicants from around the globe and is dedicated to inclusiveness and a diversity of contemporary reflections and practices. Teams of up to three individuals may apply, including interdisciplinary collaborative projects, and professional translators are also eligible. This openness to collaborative and translational work underscores the foundation's recognition that knowledge production often exceeds singular authorship. While the fellowship does not prescribe a specific outcome, it is best suited to those with a well-defined research or creative project that would benefit from uninterrupted time and intellectual companionship. The Camargo Foundation does not charge an application fee, and the rolling deadline allows applicants to submit at their convenience. However, given the limited number of fellowships and the global pool of applicants, proposals should demonstrate clarity of purpose and a genuine need for the residency's unique offerings. The foundation's emphasis on exchange means that successful candidates are not only accomplished in their fields but also eager to contribute to a shared intellectual community.
