Application guidelines:

A call for applications for visual arts and dance residencies is announced every two years. A process of selection then follows. The selection jury for visual arts and contemporary dance is composed of
our partners and professionals from both artistic domains. In terms of content, a special importance is granted to artistic process, research, and innovation. There are no imposed themes or media. However, the time spent in Flers should be conceived of as an immersion in this unique environment, and the opportunity for an encounter with a town and its inhabitants.
When selecting dance companies, their affinities with the field of visual art will be considered. When two projects of equal interest are in competition, the project that best takes the regional dimension into consideration will be privileged.

  • The next visual arts residency call will be launched in December 2023.
  • The call for contemporary dance residency 2025 is open.

2angles residency
Description

'2angles', an association founded in 1999, promotes visual arts and contemporary dance in the region. In 2010, 2angles joined the network of cultural centres supported by the Normandy region. One of its main missions is to receive artists and dance companies through its residencies programme. These residencies result in exhibitions of the work of visual artists and public presentations of the work-in-progress where dance companies are concerned.
The activities of ‘2angles’ mostly take place in the town centre of Flers. Located in what was once a dye factory, the association disposes of 400m2 in which to house its three exhibition spaces, workshops, offices and a library. In addition, ‘2angles’ has access to a stage and a rehearsal studio which are made available by the town of Flers. '2angles' is the place to be if you are interested in discovering, creating, experimenting, researching and sharing. It creates bridges between visual arts and dance, the artists, the public, and local enterprise.
The association named 'Le RAVE (Reseau des Arts Vivants Electriques -a contemporary music network)’ is located in the same building. The proximity between the two associations creates regular collaborations.
Here, artists, sculptors, choreographers, painters, dancers, musicians and managers frequently meet.
The team of '2angles' also develops projects with local partners such as schools, hospitals, prisons,
associations or other cultural centres.

Duration of the residency:

  • Visual art residencies: Several formats of varying lengths exist.
  • Creation Residency: 30 days in residence + 40 days exhibition
  • Construction and Installation residency: 10 days in residence + 40 days exhibition
  • Mission Residency: To be adapted, according to the project, outwith the premises of ‘2angles’
