The Ensba Lyon offers a one-year postgraduate program for five international artists who have acquired a Master's degree (or DNSEP).
It aims at creating the conditions to enact and support a position in the contemporary art field for emerging artists. It stimulates the articulation of practice, research, discourse, critical reflection, and sociability through individual and collective practices.
Promoting transmission rather than education, the postgraduate program based in the Academy of Fine Arts, Lyon, invites five young artists from different geographical backgrounds who are already actively engaged in the art practice.
During this year-long residency the artists are invited to elaborate on their individual practices and will be given full access to the school's facilities and studios. The development of individual work will be challenged through constant critical interaction, collective research, workshops, exhibition projects and opportunities to travel and meet with international artists and art practitioners.

These journeys in the recent past years had led the group to discover the artistic and intellectual scenes in Beirut, Athens, Chicago, Kolkata, Lisbon and Tbilissi.
Long-term partnerships are settled between the postgraduate program and the Lyon Biennial, Lyon, and the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Turin.
