Open Call by European Media Art Platform

Sept. 13, 2022

The European Media Art Platform (EMAP) is currently accepting applications for its 2023 residency program.

With support from the European Union’s Creative Europe Program, EMAP invites artists, collectives, or other artistic collaborations working in digital art, media art, and bio-art to residencies in 16 countries.

As a new feature to the EMAP residency program, a new “collaboration” component has been introduced. European artists or collectives can apply with a project proposal for a residency of two months from March to October 2023. The artists will collaborate with a person of their choice or a person local to the host institution. Applicants are expected to include a proposal for collaboration in their application.

The residency includes an invitation to the kick-off conference in Athens, a grant of €4,000 including subsistence costs, a grant of €2,000 for collaborating artist(s), a project budget of €4,000 and travel expenses up to €1,000. The artists in residence will also receive accommodation and free access to technical facilities and/or media labs from the host institution. It also includes a professional presentation and the option to participate in exhibition tours at EMAP members’ festivals/exhibitions in 2023-2024, plus the possibility of getting exhibited by EMAP partner institutions.

Applications should be submitted online and must include a CV, (audio)-visual documentation of previous works, and a preliminary plan and presentation of the proposed project to be developed within the EMAP Residencies program. Collaborating artists do not have to be decided at the time of submission.

Applicants must be EU residents or taxpayers in an EU member country. Undergraduate and Master’s students are not eligible but PhD candidates are accepted. Regardless of age and academic degree, emerging artists are encouraged to apply. Please apply online at call.emare.eu
