25AV invites artistic collaboration projects and collectives from across Europe to apply for the 25AV Residency Programme, a pan-European platform for collaborative artistic production in the fields of media art, sound, performance, and audiovisual experimentation.
25AV is particularly interested in collaborative formats that challenge conventional performative and audiovisual practices, encouraging experimental and conceptually open approaches across disciplines such as Performance, Visual Art, New Media, Music and Literature.
The residencies will take place throughout 2026 and 2027 at Onassis Stegi (Athens, GR), Vitamin (Brno, CZ), iMAL (Brussels, BE), Triennale Milano (Milan, IT) and Lothringer 13 Halle (Munich, DE). The duration of each residency varies between 7 and 14 days, depending on the host institution. The newly developed works will be showcased again together at the 25AV Festival in April 2027, held in collaboration with Kanal–Centre Pompidou (Brussels, BE).
This Open Call is aimed at emerging and early-career artists (within 10 years of professional practice) with a focus or interest in interdisciplinary and collaborative practices. Applicants must form a duo or group of up to 4 artists and be based in at least 2 different Creative Europe eligible countries. 25AV strongly encourages applications from artists who see themselves as underrepresented in the cultural field.
Each selected project will be provided with:
- Artistic support and production infrastructure
- Public presentation and/or work-in-progress format
- Travel and accommodation
- Daily subsistence support
- Artist fee of 1,000 EUR per artist for participation in the residency
- Additional artist fee of 750 EUR per artist for public presentations at the end of the residency
- Additional artist fee of 750 EUR per artist for the final performance at the 25AV Festival at KANAL–Centre Pompidou (April 2027)
- A mentorship programme offering guidance on both artistic practice and career development
