Residency BMW
call for applications

BMW Art & Culture announces the launch of its ninth call for applications for the BMW Residency at GOBELINS, School of Visual Arts.

- A carte blanche for photographic innovation and transmission offered to contemporary talent.

- Applications accepted until March 29th, 2019. 

- The jury will select the winner in June.


Every year since 2011, BMW Art & Culture has given an artist the opportunity to produce a photography project in a three-month residency. The project is undertaken at the GOBELINS School of Visual Arts, which has been involved in the Residency for the past two years, following a six-year partnership with the Nicéphore Niépce Museum. 

The BMW Residency results in the production of works created with the support of the artistic director, François Cheval and GOBELINS staff. A selection of works produced during the Residency will be exhibited at two major photography events for which BMW is a partner – the 2020 Rencontres d’Arles (between the opening week in July and the end of August) and 2020 Paris Photo fair.

Works produced during the BMW Residency will be presented in a book included published by éditions Trocadéro, in the BMW Art & Culture collection.

The BMW Residency will take place between September and December 2019.
