ELIA | NEXT Accelerator Residency | Amsterdam

During the Netherlands Presidency of the Council of the European Union, ELIA- European League of Institutes of the Arts is hosting a Residency for Emerging Artists. As part of the NEXT Accelerator project, ELIA is looking for 5 talented artists for a special residency in Amsterdam for a period of 3 months (1 April – 30 June 2016). ELIA is looking for talented emerging artists recently graduated from a higher arts institution (preferably an ELIA member institution) in any artistic discipline.

The selected artists receive free accommodation and travel costs for the period of time indicated and will be joining the project Europe by People .

The artists should preferably be independent in their creative practice and have a strong interest in innovation and in the future development of our society. The following questions will be raised: What are the impact and the role of the artist in society? How can creative people have a role in the modern economy and make a living from their artistic practice? What is the artists’ reaction to the question of identity, especially in the European context?
