- the intervention can happen on- or off-stage, spatially fixed or mobile;
- cannot be hosted inside a building;
- has to be adapted to the Belgian weather.

EUR 12,000 Small partnership projects
EUR 32,000 Medium partnership projects

The call is open to artists who work in visual arts, applied arts, new media, photography, and performance. To be eligible, candidates must be under 35 (born after 1987) and come from or be based in the following territories: Portugal, Norway, UK, Montenegro, Municipality of Milan, Cyprus.

Each selected artist will receive a participation fee of 300 Euro; a production fee of 350 Euro; and a total per diem of 300 Euro. The non-resident selected artists will be provided a round ticket from and to the city indicated in the application form, covered by the partner of reference, and the Municipality of Milan will guarantee them accommodation in the facilities of Fabbrica Del Vapore.

International Touring and Environmental Responsibility Fund for Performing Arts Professionals in England, Norway and Denmark

On the Move — Thu, 16 Nov 2023 05:00:00 +0000

Arts Council England are partnering with the Danish Arts Foundation and Arts Council Norway to support a third year of the International Touring and Environmental Responsibility Fund, with the aim of fostering relationships between artists and companies based in Denmark, Norway, and England, supporting them to develop new, environmentally responsible approaches to international touring and collaboration.

Travel and touring are essential to creativity and culture, but they come at a cost. As the urgency of the climate crisis increases, so does the need for our sector to fully understand its touring footprint, and to sustain a means of sharing art which supports our transition to a global low carbon future.

Working with Julie’s Bicycle, this unique programme aims to support performing arts professionals in England, Norway, and Denmark to tackle these challenges head on.

Applications are welcome from venues, touring companies and individuals across a wide range of art forms. You may, for example, be a music or theatre venue that receives touring organisations, a festival, an orchestra, a theatre company, a solo musician, a performing arts producer, or a multidisciplinary arts organisation.

Beginning in February 2024, selected artists and companies (eight based in England, eight based in Denmark, eight based in Norway) will benefit from a three-month interactive online programme exploring key touring challenges, with provocations, frameworks, and practical approaches to reducing their carbon and environmental impacts. Led by Julie’s Bicycle, with input from guest speakers, this online climate leadership course will inspire participants to collaborate with one another to shape concepts that explore new approaches to international touring and collaboration.

Following the online programme, participants will be invited to apply for project funding in partnership with one another to seed fund concepts originating from the programme. Concepts could include, for example, creating artistic content, exploring new models of presentation or distribution, or research and development.

The successful partnerships will be awarded up to £30,000 (for trilateral partnerships representing all three countries) or up to £20,000 (for bilateral partnerships representing only two of the countries) and announced in May 2024 with projects commenced in September 2024.

Deadline: 30 November 2023

ART4SEA: Call for Artists in Residence (Italy / Greece / Malta)

On the Move — Tue, 24 Oct 2023 14:16:30 +0000

In 2024, three small islands in the Mediterranean Sea, Ustica in Italy, Alonissos in Greece and Gozo in Malta, will host a 7-day residency programme where artists will be inspired by the beautiful natural environments, the ancient maritime traditions, and the direct relationships with local communities to create their born-digital and physical artworks. Artists will be encouraged to design artworks to be integrated into the marine, natural and architectural landscapes of the islands, thus creating an open-air and underwater museum making the three Islands a guiding light for Ocean Conservation.

The residency programme will foster a cooperation process between artists and communities to raise ocean literacy and inspire a more environmentally friendly behaviour, with co-creation and cross fertilisation activities on-site and online. Artworks (both digital and physical ones) will become the tangible results of the two-year residency programme that includes for each island:

4 Digital artists.
3 Street/Urban/Guerrilla/Ecological/Graffiti/Land artists.
1 Artist producing underwater artworks/sculptures.

Overall, the programme will involve 8 Artists for each island and 24 artists in total willing to:

Be engaged in co-creating projects to spread people’s awareness of marine preservation.
Improve their skills using digital technologies and digital media in the creative process.
Be trained on innovative and sustainable methods applied to creative processes.

The project covers round trips from European cities, boards and lodging costs for the in-person activities. It also provides some support for production costs, and stipends varying from 2000 – 3500 EUR.

Applicants must be based in a European country.

Deadline: 10 November 2023
