There is only one selection process for the Sacatar Open Call. There is no separate application or selection track for candidates seeking Villa Fatumbi support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All applications, from artists around the world, go through Sacatar’s standard selection process: an initial evaluation by discipline-specific selection committees, followed by a final interdisciplinary jury, and a round of interviews. Every application is assessed together, regardless of nationality or place of residence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once that process identifies the artists who will be offered a residency, all selected French artists are then presented to Villa Fatumbi, who will select one artist<\/strong> to support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who is eligible?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Artists originally from France, including French territories, are eligible, even if they don’t currently live in France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Artists born elsewhere but currently based in France (including French territories) are also eligible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do I need to apply separately or indicate interest?<\/strong>

No. There is no extra step. If you select France or a French territory under “Country of Origin” and\/or “Country of Residence” in your application, you will automatically be considered for Villa Fatumbi’s support if you are selected for a residency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being presented to Villa Fatumbi does not guarantee their support<\/strong>. French artists selected for a Sacatar residency who are not chosen by Villa Fatumbi will still receive their residency under Sacatar’s standard terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
