Onassis AiR Open Call 2026/27

After six successful years supporting nearly 250 Fellows from around the world, Οnassis AiR has become a container of cross-disciplinary exchange among local and international art practitioners and researchers.

Through connection with the curatorial team of Onassis Stegi and a tailored mentoring scheme, Onassis AiR Fellows can develop their research or projects under the guidance of experienced art professionals, while expanding their knowledge and networks in their respective fields.

Community-building is integral to the Onassis AiR program: all Fellows take part in a range of collective activities, including a peer-to-peer feedback workshop, curated visits, research exchanges, and community meetings.

In each residency cycle, participants are involved in a series of public events, the Onassis AiR Open Days, carefully shaped around their practices. These events take place approximately midway through the residency and focus not on presenting a “final” work, but on the creative process that leads to it. Offering the public a glimpse into the diverse disciplines and projects developed throughout the residency, the Onassis AiR Open Days have become a meeting point for the creative scene of Athens.

Situated in the European south and the eastern Mediterranean, Onassis AiR creates space for dialogue, idea-sharing, and engagement with current issues, recognizing the necessity of addressing the tensions and challenges that arise both within its immediate context and across an ever-shifting global landscape.

For the 2026/27 season, Onassis AiR offers thirty (30) new opportunities across all fields including (but not limited to): Visual Arts, Theater, Dance, Sound, Art & Advanced Technologies, Filmmaking, Applied Arts, Curatorial, and Writing practices, as well as their hybrid iterations.
