This is a shared residency: the artist is invited solo and will share the workspaces with two other artists from the Salon58 program. Each artist works on his or her individual project(s), but coexists throughout the period. Each artist has their own room. At the end of the residency, the artists meet the local public as part of a public evening.

Salon58 artistic residencies are shared residencies.

It will therefore be possible to exchange with one or two other artists in residence at the same time.
