EFFEA Call Coming Soon!

30 September 2022

Open call for festivals to support emerging artists

Emerging artists are the treasure of society, creative minds, explorers who have the power to shape the future through their art. EFFEA - European Festivals Fund for Emerging Artists - was built exactly on this idea: to explore and discover these talents, to support emerging artists by offering them a platform to develop their careers under festivals’ wings.

EFFEA will open its first call for festivals to support emerging artists on 14 October 2022.

EFFEA will support 50 festivals that together with 2 partner festivals will take an emerging artist under its wings during a residency programme between 1 February and 31 December 2023.

Find more information here about EFFEA, eligible countries, art disciplines, and grant categories.

  • Publication of the call: Friday, 14 October 2022
  • Deadline of the call: Monday, 21 November 2022

3. Check which category your festival will apply for: EFFEA “Discovery” Artist or EFFEA “Springboard” Artist
4. Contact at least 2 partner festivals with whom you would like to join forces. Didn’t decide yet? Find your partners on FestivalFinder.eu.
