Cité Internationale des Arts Paris residency program

Moya Dyring Memorial Studio – three-month tenancy

Moya Dyring was an Australian artist and great supporter of young Australian painters and students visiting Paris. She lived at Quai d’Anjou on the Ile St Louis, almost opposite the Cité Internationale des Arts. After her death in 1967, her friends and family purchased a studio in her memory at the Cité for the continued support of visiting artists.

Dr Denise Hickey Memorial Studio – three-month tenancy

Dr Denise Hickey was an art educator and former Trustee of the Art Gallery of New South Wales. This studio was named by the Art Gallery to honour Dr Hickey’s life-long dedication to the support and education of Australian artists.

• In 2024 the Art Gallery is offering two studio residencies for three-month periods of September to November 2024 and October to December 2024.

• Residencies are without stipend and do not include fares to and from Paris (except for scholarship-funded residencies).

• Each successful applicant must pay a monthly maintenance fee to the Cité authorities and submit a two-page report detailing the outcomes of their study at the studio no later than one month after completion of their residency.

• The residency program is open to established or emerging artists, or applicants pursuing research in the visual arts, including arts professionals, scholars and postgraduate students. Preference will be given to Australian citizens or permanent residents who have been residing in Australia for at least two years.

In memory of Eva Breuer, one of Australia’s most loved and prolific art dealers who made a signification contribution to Australian art in the 1980s and 90s, the Breuer Foundation established an annual scholarship to be awarded to a young Australian female artist for the purpose of travel and study in Paris.

In 2024, the Eva Breuer Travelling Art Scholarship is an award of $25,000. The winner will be chosen from the winners of either the Moya Dyring Memorial Studio or Dr Denise Hickey Memorial Studio residencies.

The Barbara Tribe Travelling Art Scholarship of $25,000 will recommence in 2025 and is awarded to an Australian female sculptor in conjunction with the Cité residency program.

Based in Great Britain for most of her adult life, Barbara Tribe is one of Australia’s most significant 20th-century sculptors, recognised for her work with Rayner Hoff and for her own figurative and portrait sculptures.

Tribe was one of a group of sculptors employed by Hoff to assist with the major work of his career, the Anzac Memorial in Sydney’s Hyde Park. She has exhibited in England with the Royal Academy, Newlyn Society, St Ives Society of Artists and Society of Portrait Sculptors. In 1935 Tribe was awarded the New South Wales Travelling Art Scholarship, which allowed her to relocate to England. This was the first time the scholarship had been awarded to a sculptor and the first time it had been awarded to a woman.
