Culture Moves Europe: Funding call for residency hosts

The third call for residency hosts provides financial support to organisations and artists registered as legal entities working in the sectors of music, literature, architecture, cultural heritage, design and fashion design, visual arts, and performing arts. Legal entities can be non-profit organisations, non-governmental organisations, public bodies, foundations, companies, or self-employed persons etc.

The residency action supports legal entities that are registered and based in one of the 40 Creative Europe countries. It supports them to welcome up to 5 international artists and cultural professionals for a residency project lasting between 22 and 180 days.

The participants must be at least 18 years old and legal residents of other Creative Europe countries. The grant contributes to the costs of inviting and hosting international artists and cultural professionals.

Residency duration
Short-term residency project: between 22 and 60 days
Medium-term residency project: between 61 and 120 days
Long-term residency project: between 121 and 180 days

The residency grant is compiled of two parts
The hosting allowance, which is allocated to the host
Daily allowances, travel allowances and top-ups, which are allocated to each participant based on individual travel plans and needs
