They launch a new mobility programme for the period 2008-2009, offering more than 50 residency opportunities between September 2008 and September 2009. In order to provide a pertinent response to the various movements of a young generation of artists, the mobility programme 2008-2009 offers a wide range of ideas for artistic residencies, in partnership with a number of creation structures proposing an opening to contrasting human, social and economic environments. It thus constitutes a great opportunity for the emergence of many projects and the encounter of a new audience, focusing on three types of residency projects : open art programme, artshare, and artventure. 

 *The deadline for application is May 23rd, 2008, before midnight* (Brussels time) *This programme is open to artists between 18 and 35 years old, residing in one of the programme's member countries :* Austria - Belgium – Bulgaria – Czech Republic - Cyprus - England - Germany - Estonia - Finland – France – Greece Hungary – Ireland – Italy – Latvia – Luxemburg –– Malta - – Poland – Portugal – Québec, Canada –– Romania – Scotland – Serbia-Montenegro - Slovakia - Spain – Sweden - The Netherlands *Candidates can only apply for one single residency. * This residency must be outside of their country of origin and/or residence.

Always grateful for your postings. Damm, on the wrong side of 35 too... Mon, 21 Apr 2008 19:41:24 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/european-artists-sought-for-residency-programs#119629 yep, what about the over 35... damn, on the wrong side too... Wed, 23 Apr 2008 07:02:41 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/european-artists-sought-for-residency-programs#119740 After 40 there are no programs . We can only hope for the lifetime achievement award...............If we achieve something Wed, 23 Apr 2008 15:16:44 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/european-artists-sought-for-residency-programs#119768 Actually all this complaining is for nothing. There are actually quite a few residency programs open to people of all ages and if you look at many of the grants and fellowships like the Guggenheim, Lange/Taylor, Getty, etc it is rare that someone UNDER 35 gets them. So stop complaining about posted opportunities and do some research..... Wed, 23 Apr 2008 15:28:53 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/european-artists-sought-for-residency-programs#119770
