ARTIST IN RESIDENCE

The residency offered by Galerie Le Lac Gelé is intended to facilitate creativity; its role is to support the artist’s creativity by offering the winning artist quality time in a friendly atmosphere.

An artist residency allows the artist to reflect on their practice, to test it in a new territory, and to discuss its implementation with peers. It is a time dedicated solely to creation, a privileged moment where the artist can devote themselves to producing, free from certain everyday constraints.

It can also provide the artist with increased visibility and legitimacy.

The selection committee met and, after careful review of all applications, Mélanie Dornier was chosen.

She will be moving into the gallery in Arles in early 2026. We are delighted to welcome her!

“This winter, a break in Arles: an artist residency at the Galerie Le Lac Gelé. So happy for this precious time. Thank you, Richard!”
