Cité des Arts

La Cité des Arts in Dakar is a residency and studio complex where visiting artists work alongside Senegalese artisans in metalwork, wood carving, glass painting, and textile. The program provides studio space, accommodation, and direct collaboration with master craftspeople whose traditions stretch back centuries. Located near the Medina, the program immerses residents in Dakar's daily life — markets, street culture, music, and the omnipresent creative energy of West Africa's cultural capital.
