Culture Moves Europe - call for residency hosts

What is the residency action and who can apply?

The Culture Moves Europe residency action provides financial support to organisations and artists registered as legal entities, in one of the 40 Creative Europe countries.

The purpose of the grant is to welcome international artists and cultural professionals at your premises to implement a residency project. The participating artists and cultural professionals must be legal residents in a Creative Europe country that is different from the host’s country.

With this grant, Creative Europe supports your efforts of giving an international profile to your activities either if you are an established organisation or just one that has been recently founded.

What the residency action is for?

You can apply for funding for a residency project with a proposal that includes its objectives, expected impact and duration. You will act as a mentor to artists and cultural professionals: you should provide the environment, support and equipment adapted to their field of expertise, so that they can focus on their individual or collective projects.

You can welcome between 1 and 5 international artists and cultural professionals who must all participate in the residency project on the same dates and for the same duration. The residency can last between 22 and 300 days.

What does the residency grant support exactly?

The residency grant contributes to the costs connected to hosting international artists and cultural professionals and their mobility.

Application deadline is 15 June 2023
