Each year the Villa Arson organises two exhibition cycles, centered on three different approaches: emergence, research and international collaboration.

They are conceived in accordance with:
— the residencies program for artists, curators and researchers;
— projects conducted in collaboration with foreign institutions in the fields of creation, higher education and research according to the institution’s international strategy;
— projects developed by participants in the doctoral arts program;
— educational and/or research programs initiated by teachers and their partnerships.

These group or solo exhibitions aim to showcase the work of artists fully engaged in contemporary practices and demonstrating an interest in experimentation and discovery. To assist in discovering the exhibitions, the students of the Villa Arson art school offer guided tours during which they call forth their own personal fields of interest in connection with the artistic issues raised by the program.

The accompanying documents and the exhibition signage are created by the graphic design studio In the Shade of a Tree based in London and Paris, and founded by Sophie Demay and Maël Fournier-Comte.
