57 residencies will be supported by the third round of the European Festivals Fund for Emerging Artists (EFFEA), an initiative of the European Festivals Association (EFA). Those translate to 57 emerging artists (individuals or collectives) proposed by 159 festivals from 35 countries, proposing to work across 18 artistic disciplines.

Congratulations!

The EFFEA grants will support 57 projects falling under 2 categories: the Discovery residencies and the Springboard residencies, receiving respectively €8.000 and €15.000. Throughout Europe and beyond, artists and festivals will work on their residency programmes between 1 June 2024 and 31 May 2025.

EFFEA is a project led by EFA that offers emerging artists a platform to develop their career on an international level under the wings of arts festivals. EFFEA is an invitation for co-operation between festivals across borders to support emerging artists.
