For over a decade, OPENING has been dedicated to providing emerging and established artists with the essential resources they need to push the boundaries of their creative practice. Our residency program, located in the vibrant heart of Marseille, is designed to be a sanctuary for experimentation and deep focus. We understand that the creative process requires not just physical space, but also mental bandwidth and professional support. Therefore, our residencies are structured to alleviate logistical burdens, allowing artists to immerse themselves fully in their work without the usual external pressures.

During their time with us, artists benefit from a dynamic environment that encourages cross-disciplinary collaboration. Whether working in plastic arts, design, music, or dance, residents find themselves part of a supportive community. We facilitate regular studio visits from curators, critics, and fellow artists, fostering a critical dialogue that is crucial for professional growth. The culmination of the residency often involves an open studio event or a small-scale exhibition, providing a platform to share works-in-progress with the local community and our network of cultural partners.
