On Tuesday, October 21, the Gaîté Lyrique in Paris will host the annual ¡Viva Villa! event, bringing together artists in residence for a professional day and a program open to the public. For this edition, two new residences have been invited to join the program: Villa Hegra (AlUla, Saudi Arabia) and Villa Swagatam (India).

¡Viva Villa! is organizing a professional day at the Gaîté Lyrique in Paris, bringing together more than 40 artists, creators, researchers in residence, and numerous guests. The program includes meetings, workshops, and round tables on current issues in the arts sector, as well as a multidisciplinary program of performances, concerts, and screenings open to the public. This event is an opportunity to meet artists from artistic residencies around the world and discover the diversity of their practices, from musical creation to visual and plastic arts, culinary creation, dance, and design. For the 2025 edition, two residencies have been invited to take part in the professional day: Villa Hegra (AlUlA, Saudi Arabia) and Villa Swagatam (India).

¡Viva Villa! is a network of French artist residencies abroad created in 2016 by Casa de Velázquez (Madrid), Villa Kujoyama (Kyoto), and Villa Medici (Rome), joined in 2023 by Villa Albertine (United States).
