It offers emerging artists a platform to establish themselves internationally through artist-in-residence programmes co-produced by festivals across Europe.
A residency programme aimed at fostering the international careers of emerging artists, co-produced by a leading festival in collaboration with partner festivals from different eligible countries (minimum 3 festivals). Artists receive dedicated time, space, and support to explore their ideas and creative projects while building connections with festival programmers, colleagues, and audiences.
Emerging artists proposed by eligible European festivals. The EFFEA Fund defines emerging artists not by age but by their novelty to programmers and audiences and their potential for international breakthrough. This includes individual artists and groups across various artistic disciplines.
