About the Cité

In the early 1980s SANAVA acquired three atelier apartments at the Cité for the benefit of South African visual artists who have been members of a branch of the association for at least two immediately preceding years. Founded in 1965, the Cité is today the largest artist residency centre in the world. Since its opening it has accommodated more than 18 000 artists from all over the world. Located at 18 rue de l’Hôtel de Ville in the heart of the Marais district, residents at the Cité use their time there to produce art and develop creatively further. Residencies can last from 2 to 12 months. The complex also houses galleries where artists can exhibit their works. Read more: https://sanava.co.za/cite/
