Ars Longa

About Ars Longa

Ars Longa (FR) is a structure of production, diffusion, mediation of experimenal’s forms at crossroads of Art, Research and Society, both in public and private spaces. It favours innovative approaches and focuses on the educational or civic appropriation of projects. City is our playground. We explore and study the movements that make and transform the metabolism of the city. Regulators, operators or citizens, we accompany with them experiments that allow us to think by doing. To manufacture in town, to manufacture the city.

What do they do in the Distributed Design context?

Ars Longa offers a support programme for young emerging designers by providing (1) access to our workshop, (2) an ecosystem of makers / workshops and (3) professionals in several areas of the transition economy.

Working closely with the renowned Parisian design and craft school BOULLE and the MORNING OS incubator, where the workshop is located, we are offering designers a three-stage process: an open call with 4 selection criteria:  Creativity, Heritage, Inclusion,  Wise Techno. The programme also aims to internationalise creative talent by encouraging international applications.

Exhibitions will be held at Morning OS or as part of collaborative projects.
