European Investment Bank Institute: Artists Development Programme 2025 (France, Luxembourg)

The European Investment Bank (EIB) Institute, in partnership with neimënster Abbey Heritage Site for Culture (Luxembourg) and the Cité internationale des arts (Paris), is calling for applications for the 2025 edition of the Artists Development Programme (ADP). The residency will take place from the beginning of September until the end of November 2025.

The ADP offers emerging visual artists a three-month residency, enabling them to develop their practice and create a new (body of) work(s). In 2025, the residency will take place over three months between the Cité internationale des arts in Paris for two months (September–October), and neimënster in Luxembourg for one month (November). The laureates will be mentored by acclaimed Franco-Italian artist Tatiana Trouvé, as well as professor, theorist and art critic Christophe Kihm.

Four formats are proposed and are open to emerging European visual artists, under 35 years old:

• For two artists, nationals of an EU member state, to work on the theme ‘Disruption: The Imprint of Man.’
• For one artist, national of an EU member state, to work on the theme ‘Art & Development’ in partnership with Metins Fund
• For one artist, national from Austria, Croatia, Hungary, Finland, Luxembourg or Slovakia.
• For one artist, national of Ukraine.

The EIB Institute will cover the artists’ travel costs to Paris, from Paris to Luxembourg, and from Luxembourg. The artists will receive an 80 EUR flat-rate daily allowance to cover their living costs during the residency and all or part of the production costs, and will be provided with a live-in studio space. The artists will also be granted a contribution towards production of 500 EUR at the beginning of the residency and a success fee of 1,000 EUR at the end of the residency, provided that they have produced a work or body of works.
