Since 1666, the main mission of the French Academy in Rome has been to host artists, creators and researchers in residency. Over the decades, this mission has evolved and expanded, embracing a growing number of artistic, cultural and scientific disciplines.

Residency Programs
Villa Medici offers a range of residency programs for French or international French-speaking artists, craftsmen, authors and researchers. Find your program!
We have created two residency programs specifically for vocational and agricultural secondary school students, as well as young art school graduates in France.
After the residency, Villa Medici promotes the circulation of the work of fellows and researchers through a network of partner venues and initiatives in France.
