Cité Montmartre-aux-artistes
Cité Montmartre-aux-artistes, Art Deco artist residence in 18th arrondissement, Paris, France.
Description
The Cité Montmartre-aux-artistes is an artist housing complex in the 18th arrondissement with 180 studio apartments housed behind red brick facades adorned with wrought iron gates and stained glass details. The buildings surround inner courtyards and feature a mosaic-decorated entrance hall that leads to the residential spaces within.
History
Built in 1932, it was created to provide housing for artists displaced from Montmartre as real estate development transformed the neighborhood. The project emerged as a direct response to the loss of affordable studio space in the area.
Culture
The residence continues to house painters, musicians, actors, and writers in its dedicated studio spaces today. These creative residents shape daily life here through their artistic work and maintain a thriving community of practitioners.
Practical
Access to the courtyards and studios is primarily available during special events such as Heritage Days. Visitors should check in advance about opening times and access conditions, as the site is otherwise private residential space.
Did you know?
The site is Europe's largest artist housing complex of its kind and accommodates filmmakers and photographers alongside traditional visual artists. This place has remained a hub for various artistic media and practices across decades.
