État d'un lieu: Call for Applications

Recently settled in the Domaine national de Saint-Cloud, the Pépinières européennes pour jeunes artistes will present "état d'un lieu" in autumn. Pépinières offer residencies to artists over 18 years old and from all artistic field (visual arts, performing arts, transdisciplinarity), to develop an artistic project related to human, urban, social and economic environment and the context of this place.

hito - turismo creativo en los Pirineos

hito, turismo creativo en los Pirineos, proposes to set up a network of artists residencies, on each side of the Pyrenees, which will be the starting point of several trans-pyrenean discovery routes by means of original and unique artistic propositions. This project is open to candidates from all fields of artistic expression (performing arts, visual arts and transdisciplinarity), residing in France or Spain, developing an approach in relation with the human, social, economical and environmental context they encounter. Their propositions must coincide with the living environment of the hosting creation sites and meet the general requirements of the hito project.

European Pépinières program for young artists

Every three years the European Pépinières organisation launches a residency program for artists under 36 years old. The application is set up as an international competition. Laureates are offered a grant for a working period at residential art centers and art institutes throughout Europe and Québec in Canada.

The Pépinières residency program is set up in close collaboration with national, regional and municipal authorities. Host institutes are responsible for training and for the presentation of the artists' projects. The cities where the host institutes are located, offer the artists' accommodation.

Trans Artists is the coordinator for the Pépinières in the Netherlands

Currently 26 countries participate in the Pépinières program. Each country has a national coordinating organization, which is responsible for carrying out the program for its own country.
