La Ruche, Art Nouveau artists' residence in 15th arrondissement, France

The octagonal central pavilion of La Ruche contains sixty studios spread across three floors within a 5,000 square meter garden complex.

Alfred Boucher founded La Ruche in 1902 using salvaged materials from the 1900 Universal Exhibition to create affordable workspace for emerging artists.

The building has hosted numerous influential artists including Amedeo Modigliani and Fernand Leger, contributing to Paris's artistic development in the 20th century.

The La Ruche-Seydoux Foundation manages the property since 1985, organizing exhibitions and maintaining the studios for current resident artists.

The ground floor exhibition space presents two new artist showcases monthly, continuing the tradition of supporting emerging creative talent.
