Guest accommodation in Paris, Swedish Institute

The Swedish Arts Grants Committee's International Programme for Visual and Applied Artists, IASPIS, collaborates with Institut Suedois in Paris to provide guest accommodation and stipend support for visual arts practitioners. The grant holder receives access to housing in a renovated 16th-century building in the Marais district and a stipend to cover travel and living expenses during their one-month stay. The Swedish Institute in Paris hosts programme activities involving music, literature, performing arts, design and visual arts. The purpose of this collaboration is to support artists' opportunities to create, develop and nurture contacts abroad. The six guest flats were renovated and furnished in 2019 by leading Swedish interior architects and designers. The one-room flat has two beds and a small work area, though it is primarily residential and cannot be used as a studio or rehearsal space.
