CENTRE POMPADOUR

CENTRE POMPADOUR, the laboratory of neo - feminism, welcomes like-minded creative professionals from all over the world to work on projects that place gender equality and feminist empowerment at the heart of the creative process and outreach. They are an artist-run residency program.

The creatives-in-residency program runs May through September. Artists who are currently pursuing arts of any skill or mastery (visual arts, applied arts, writing, poetry, music, research on feminism or gender politics,...) and identify with a neofeminist outlook on the world are invited to apply. There is a lot of privacy, surrounded by a nature. The four guest rooms each have their own private bathroom. Other facilities include a top-floor attic atelier of 50m2, a well assorted library of women’s history readings and art literature, a well-tuned piano, and spacious indoor and outdoor living areas.

⚠️ In 2021, the residency will only be open during June, July and August due to COVID-19.

CENTRE POMPADOUR, laboratory of neo-feminism, is located in the tiny village of Ercourt, which is situated in the Baie de Somme area, a nature reserve of the french Picardie. The château was built in 1849; its architect Hector-Martin Lefuel is best known for the completion of the Palais du Louvre, the theatre of the Fontainbleau Château, the Château Neudeck, in neobaroque stile, typical for the Second Empire.
