CEC ArtsLink invites artists, arts leaders and curators from all arts disciplines from eligible countries to apply for the ArtsLink International Fellowships 2022. Priority will be given to artists and arts leaders whose socially engaged work is making a vital contribution to furthering people’s awareness, understanding, and active participation in environmental and/or social justice issues.
The ArtsLink International Fellowship programme offers a pioneering multi-year hybrid residency:
- Year 1, a hosted virtual six-week research residency.
- Year 2, a project in the US.
- Year 3, a project in the Fellow’s home country with US collaborators.
CEC ArtsLink curates each Fellowship, hosted by established US non-profit arts organisations across the country. During the residencies, the Fellows and host organisations collaborate through online dialogues, virtual networking, and research. ArtsLink offers an initial honorarium to Fellows and US hosts to cover the research residency and support for the subsequent project in the US to cover visa and travel, food and lodging, health insurance, and up to 50% of production costs.
Eligible countries: Afghanistan, Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Egypt, Estonia, Georgia, Hungary, Israel, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lebanon, Lithuania, Mongolia, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Palestine, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Syria, Tajikistan, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan.
Applicants do not need to have contacts with organisations in the US to apply for this program, but proficiency in English is necessary.
