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.

The map programme, which has been initiated by the Pépinières européennes pour jeunes artistes, has offered a wide range of artistic mobility concepts sustained by several partner structures in Europe and Quebec for 9 years.

Year after year, its success is confirmed so the map programme is extended over 2010-2011.

This year, the partner structures still propose new residencies opportunities that allow young artists build new plural projects and meet new audience.

Because the new e.mobility website, through which we will broadcast the next calls, is going to be launched soon, and taking into account our partners’ calendar, we are launching a first call for applications for the residencies planned in 2010. The second call for the 2011 residencies should be launched at the autumn on the e.mobility website.

The application deadline is the 16th of August 2010 at midnight (Brussels time).

This programme is open to young artists from all artistic field between 18 and 35 years old, residing in one of the programme’s member countries:

Austria – Belgium – Bulgaria – Cyprus - Czech Republic – England – Estonia – Finland – France – Germany – Greece – Hungary – Iceland – Ireland – Italy – Latvia – Luxembourg – Malta – Netherlands – Poland – Portugal – Quebec, Canada – Romania – Scotland - Serbia-Montenegro – Slovakia – Spain – Sweden
