    Villa Vassilieff & The Pernod Ricard Fellowship:

    Villa Vassilieff - Pernod Ricard Fellowship is an art center located in a his­toric alleyway of the Montparnasse neigh­bor­hood. Villa Vassilieff was estab­lished in the old studio of Marie Vassilieff, a Russian artist close with Picasso, Modigliani and impor­tant fig­ures of the European avant-garde of the twen­tieth cen­tury. Today, Villa Vassilieff is an exhi­bi­tion and coworking space sup­ported by Pernod Ricard. Intended to pro­mote the inter­na­tional art scene, Villa Vassilieff is a place of con­vivi­ality linked with the Parisian cul­tural life where inter­na­tional artists and researchers are hosted in res­i­dency through the Pernod Ricard Fellowship.
    The Pernod Ricard Fellowship is a res­i­dency pro­gram founded in 2016 as a result of Pernod Ricard’s his­toric com­mit­ment to artists. A one of a kind res­i­dency, the Pernod Ricard Fellowship allows for an exten­sive research period without any obli­ga­tion for the cre­ation of art­work. It also offers the res­i­dents tai­lored appoint­ments in the biggest Parisian cul­tural insti­tu­tions.
