Dora Maar Cultural Center: An International Fellowship and Residency Program

Maison Dora Maar is a renowned international residency program and cultural center located in the village of Ménerbes, France. Housed in a historic 18th-century hôtel particulier that was once the home of the photographer and surrealist artist Dora Maar, the institution serves as a sanctuary for mid-career artists, writers, and scholars across various disciplines. The center provides a structured environment that encourages creative and intellectual growth, offering fellows the time and space necessary to advance their professional projects. The residency program at Maison Dora Maar, which is a core component of the Dora Maar Cultural Center (DMCC), facilitates cross-disciplinary exchange among its international cohort of fellows. In addition to private living and studio spaces, the center provides access to the historic Hotel de Tingry and the La Mob gallery, where public engagement occurs through exhibitions and open studio events. By preserving the legacy of Dora Maar while supporting contemporary creative practices, Maison Dora Maar plays a vital role in the cultural landscape of Provence. Its mission is supported by a dedicated board and staff, and the program remains committed to fostering a global community of creators who are inspired by the unique history and environment of the Luberon region.
