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.
Congratulations to: Benny Nemerofsky Ramsay, Etta Säfve and Emilie Gallier!
