The European Investment Bank (EIB) Institute is pleased to announce the 2025 edition of its Artists Development Programme (ADP) in partnership with Cité internationale des arts (Paris), and neimënster (Neumünster Abbey Heritage Site for Culture) (Luxembourg,) for which it is looking for ONE visual artist (born after 1 January 1990) from Austria, Croatia, Finland, Hungary, Luxembourg or Slovakia.

  
The ADP offers emerging European visual artists a three-month residency, enabling them to develop their practice and create a new (body of) work(s), boosted by the mentorship of a renowned artist. 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 for one month (November). The laureate will be mentored by acclaimed Franco-Italian artist Tatiana Trouvé, as well as professor, theorist and art critic Christophe Kihm.

  
The EIB Institute was set up within the EIB Group (European Investment Bank and European Investment Fund) to promote and support social, artistic, cultural, and academic initiatives with European stakeholders and the public at large. One of its flagship initiatives is the Artists Development Programme (ADP). The ADP offers European visual artists a residency mentored by an internationally renowned artist. It enables artists to develop their practice and work on the production of an artwork without any material constraints. Upon its completion, a series of events mark the end of the residency: an exhibition, the introduction of the artists to appropriate public fora, and, typically, the acquisition of the programme’s artworks by the EIB to enrich its contemporary art collection.

  
**About the Cité internationale des arts -** The Cité internationale des arts is an artists’ residency centre that brings together artists in the heart of Paris and allows them to implement a creative or research project in all disciplines.

  
For periods of two months to a year, in the Marais or in Montmartre, the Cité internationale des arts allows artists to work in an environment conducive to creation and open to meetings with professionals from the cultural milieu. Artists in residence benefit from customised support from the Cité internationale des arts team and the opportunity to meet and exchange with more than 300 artists and art professionals of all generations, nationalities, and disciplines. In collaboration with its many partners, the Cité internationale des arts calls for applications on specific themes and/or projects several times a year.

  
**About neimënster -** Neumünster Abbey Heritage Site for Culture, also known as neimënster, is a historical site in Luxembourg City with a rich history spanning four centuries. Originally a Benedictine abbey, it later served as a military bastion and prison, including during the Nazi occupation. Today, it is a cultural center focused on restoring its spiritual vocation and promoting humanist values.

  
neimënster hosts a wide range of events, including concerts, conferences, arts performances, festivals, and exhibitions. Many of these events are free, and the public parts of neimënster are open seven days a week. Additionally, neimënster provides support and space for artistic experimentation through artist residencies, offering accommodations and workspaces for resident artists, and the possibility of public work-in-progress presentations.

The residency will take place from the beginning of September until the end of November 2025, with two months in France and one month in Luxembourg.

**The EIB Institute will cover the artist’s travel costs to Paris, from Paris to Luxembourg, and from Luxembourg.**

The artist will receive an €80 flat-rate daily allowance to cover his/her living costs during the residency and all or part of the production costs, and will be provided with a living/working space.

In addition to the above, the artist will be granted a contribution towards production of €500 at the beginning of the residency and a success fee of €1 000 at the end of the residency, provided that he/she has produced a work or body of works.

Upon completion of the residency, the EIB may consider acquiring an artwork produced on-site by the artist.

Geographic Call - Artists Development Programme 2025

The European Investment Bank (EIB) Institute is pleased to announce the 2025 edition of its Artists Development Programme (ADP) in partnership with Cité internationale des arts (Paris) and neimënster (Neumünster Abbey Heritage Site for Culture) (Luxembourg), for which it is looking for ONE visual artist (born after 1 January 1990) from an EU Member State to work on the theme “Art & Development,” organised conjointly with the Metis Fund, an innovative public/private institution hosted by the French Development Agency (AFD).

  
Drawing upon the joint expertise of the EIB and Metis/AFD, “Art & Development” aims to interrogate the role that artistic creation can play in anticipating, facilitating or even actively engaging societal transformations, whether psychic or operational. Artists are invited to reflect on the links and/or ruptures that exist between creative expression and the construction of a more just and sustainable world. The research carried out by the selected laureate will thus explore the position and content of their artistic creation, in relation to their role vis-à-vis sustainability issues faced by societies around the world. These could include technical progress, infrastructure construction, access of vulnerable populations to essential services (health, education, employment, energy, water, food, etc.), the preservation of ecosystems, cultural heritage, the roles and quality of institutions, justice, tolerance, the capacities of human beings to live and compose together and the renewal of narratives on the future.

  
The ADP offers emerging European visual artists a three-month residency, enabling them to develop their practice and create a new (body of) work(s), boosted by the mentorship of a renowned artist. 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 laureate will be mentored by acclaimed Franco-Italian artist Tatiana Trouvé, as well as professor, theorist and art critic Christophe Kihm.

The residency will take place from the beginning of September until the end of November 2025.

  
The EIB Institute will cover the artist’s travel costs to Paris, from Paris to Luxembourg, and from Luxembourg.

  
The artist will receive an €80 flat-rate daily allowance to cover his/her living costs during the residency and all or part of the production costs, and will be provided with a live-in studio space.

  
In addition to the above, the artist will be granted a contribution towards production of €500 at the beginning of the residency and a success fee of €1 000 at the end of the residency, provided that he/she has produced a work or body of works.

  
Upon completion of the residency, the EIB may consider acquiring an artwork produced on-site by the artist.

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS | Al-Tiba9 Art Magazine Issue18

The Ora Schneider Regional Grant is a month-long residency for artists residing in Greene, Columbia, Delaware, Dutchess, Ulster, Sullivan, and Orange counties. Gail Schneider Matlin—a gifted artist, former WSW board member, and daughter of Ora Schneider—funds these residencies to honor her mother’s long-time commitment to our community’s cultural life.

  
Ora Wadlin was born in Brooklyn in 1916 and moved with her family to a farm in Rhinebeck as a small child. She was the third eldest in a large family of 7 girls and one boy. Growing up on the farm she and her sisters did most of the work and she always said she was the only jeweler’s wife who knew how to milk a cow. Ora went to business school in Kingston where she met her husband to be George Schneider. They were married in 1939 and Ora worked in their family jewelry store alongside her husband for most of her life. She was the main buyer for Jewelry and Gifts. Ora loved to play golf, travel, and she especially loved to dance. Once her daughter Gail introduced her to WSW she became a loyal supporter and attended the annual auction from its earliest beginnings, always donating something from Schneider’s and as an enthusiastic buyer. She had a wonderful sense of humor, a beautiful smile and a love of life. Ora died on November 25, 2005\. In Ora’s honor her daughter Gail Schneider, an artist and former WSW board Co-Chairperson, established and funds a residency to support sustained opportunities for Artists. Gail, who now lives in San Diego, draws her earliest childhood inspirations to make art from the Hudson Valley and now the desert regions of Southern California. The Ora Schneider Artist in Residency Program began in 2006 and continues to provide opportunities for regional artists.

WSW awards this residency to two artists, who may choose to work in any of our studio disciplines.

This grant includes amonth-long residency, $1500 stipend and 24/7 studio access. We understand that applicants may not be close enough for a daily commute, so free onsite housing can also be arranged.

Ora Schneider Regional Residency Grant

The Core Residency Program awards residencies to exceptional, highly motivated emerging artists and critical writers committed to developing a sustainable practice. The residency term is 23 months, during which fellows receive $100,000 ($50,000 per year) plus a health stipend.

Fellows are provided with a private studio and benefit from regular studio visits by regional, national, and international artists and curators. They receive a discount on classes at the Glassell School of Art and may request access to Glassell studios, which include facilities for painting, printmaking, digital and film photography, sculpture, jewelry, and ceramics. Fellows are also invited to engage with everything the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston has to offer, including its permanent collection of approximately 80,000 artworks spanning more than 5,000 years of history, two house museums, and a distinguished staff of museum professionals. Fellows enjoy borrowing privileges at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston’s Hirsch Library and the Fondren Library at Rice University.

Fellows participate in a group exhibition during the spring of their first year and present a solo exhibition or project in the spring of their second year. Critics-in-residence will, at that time, propose an outcome for their second year that aligns with their professional goals. In the first year of their residency, all fellows will give a public artist lecture and participate in an open studio event. In the second year, fellows will participate in a second open studio event and provide a gallery talk in conjunction with their solo project.

A jury of distinguished arts professionals selects Core Fellows based on the quality of submitted work and the potential for the residency experience in Houston to significantly impact their practice. When qualifications are comparable, priority is given to a Harris County-based artist or critic. Limited administrative support is available for successful international applicants seeking J-1 visas through the program’s partner organization, International Arts & Artists. No support is provided for other visa types.

Core Residency Program 2025–27

**A. Introduction**

Our 2025 request for proposals (RFP) stems from the **Hui Mo‘olelo** program, which cultivates site-specific stories through a series of community workshops rooted in Hawai‘i. Artists select a story to interpret as a work of visual, performance or experiential public art in collaboration with community members. Artist proposals are selected by a community panel, followed by an intensive learning and cultural exchange. Selected projects will be matched with appropriate venues, resources, and support based on scale, feasibility, and community impact. 

Each opportunity below is connected to a specific Hui Mo‘olelo collection: Lāhainā, the Lei Pua ʻAla Queer Histories of Hawaiʻi project, and Maui County/ countywide. Please read each project description area closely to determine a story to base your artwork proposal on. In order to create an efficient panel selection process, applicants are asked to base their proposals off of the _excerpts_ listed, yet upon invitation to join may choose _any part of the full story recording_ for the final project. (Click **HERE** to view a 5-minute film that summarizes this work).

Upon selection by a community panel, artists will be paired with community consultants to integrate feedback into the initial proposal in collaboration with Maui Public Art Corps and partners; actively shaping the resulting artwork into a site-specific, participatory piece. This project development period includes a process of identifying a unique proverb from Mary Kawena Pukui’s _‘Ōlelo No‘eau: Hawaiian Proverbs and Poetical Sayings_ with our cultural consultant, Sissy Lake-Farm, Executive Director of Hale Hō‘ike‘ike at the Bailey House/ Maui Historical Society. Connecting the work to a specific proverb helps to provide historical and cultural significance to the installation site.

This opportunity is a commission, not a grant. Unlike a grant, which provides funding for artists to execute their proposal exactly as submitted, this commission is a collaborative process. Artists are selected based on their past work and their proposal, but they are expected to workshop and refine their project with partners and community members before the final presentation. Community engagement is a key priority, and selected artists must be open to input and adaptation throughout the development process.

**B. Mo‘olelo**

Artists will select from the following stories as inspiration for their public art proposal. Stories are grouped by collection: B1\. Lāhainā, B2\. the Lei Pua ʻAla Queer Histories of Hawaiʻi project, and B3\. Maui County/ countywide. Applications will only be received via CaFÉ.

B1\. Hui Mo‘olelo: Lāhainā 

​​Following the August 2023 wildfires, several groups and individuals reached out to request the Hui Mo‘olelo workshop and story recording approach as a way to process the experience. To date, we have produced 2 mural projects and an animation film festival devoted to these stories. With the help of additional sponsors, we have funds remaining for public art projects inspired by these stories. Projects in this category must be completed by August 2025\. Please refer to the “additional information” links accompanying each category in section **C: Project Categories** for more information.

The preference for public art projects in this category is _pop-up performances ranging in budget from $100 - $5,000_, though some limited resources are available for projects in other disciplines.

​

**D. Our Process**

1. Call to artists (4 weeks): We work with CaFÉ when a new public art project opportunity arises. Artists share their ideas, samples and references, and a community panel makes recommendations on the most promising projects.
2. ​Project development (1-2 weeks): Our team workshops top proposals to determine a fit as well as possible activities for broad engagement, mentors, and opportunities to connect to a sense of place. Artists are invited, contracted and connected to project collaborators.
3. ​Community engagement (2-12 weeks): Together, the artist, program partners and project collaborators gather community input on your project proposal in order to create a revised blueprint. This has included free artist workshops, community consultations, open rehearsals, live paint days, field trips and storytelling events — but we are always open to new ideas!
4. ​Proverb identification: Artists work with Hale Hōʻikeʻike at the Bailey House/ Maui Historical Society to connect community input with ‘ōlelo from Mary Kawena Pūkuʻi’s ‘Ōlelo No‘eau: Hawaiian Proverbs and Poetical Sayings.
5. ​Presentation: The final public artwork is completed then shared with an unveiling, performance, and/ or blessing that articulates the intention, acknowledges the many hands and many voices that contributed to the work, and offers a request + opportunity to experience the art collectively.
6. ​Exchange: A project web page is created with process + product images, stories, media coverage, artist statement and, (since the onset of the pandemic), a short **documentary** that offers varying perspectives of the artwork to help spur a dialogue. Applicable works are added to the Hoʻokamaʻāina​ app and included in public art tours.

Participation in Maui Public Art 2025.

  
**Budget**: $100 - $20,000 | NOTE: The selected artist/s will receive a commission not to exceed the budget cap of each opportunity listed in section c. No additional compensation will be provided.

Technology is transforming every aspect of our lives, from the way we communicate to how we create and experience art. Advances in AI, digital, and interactive systems are constantly pushing creative boundaries.

**Beyond Interface and Prompt** is a forthcoming juried multimedia art exhibition that explores how technology transcends its role as a mere tool to become a dynamic medium in contemporary art. We invite artists across all disciplines to consider how digital interfaces, AI, interactive systems, and etc. can reshape creative expression and audience perception. The exhibition aims to showcase works that move beyond traditional boundaries — **beyond the screen interface and beyond the simple text prompt** — to create innovative and experimental experiences. In this show, technology is not just about using new tools, but about **rethinking the very fabric of artmaking.**

While we welcome submissions in **all mediums**, works that **integrate technology** in concept or execution will be given **priority in the jury’s selection and up to $500 in creative awards**.

We encourage entries that engage with mediums such as tech-driven installation, interactivity, mixed-reality, AI generative art, 3D printing, audio-visual environments, or any form of artistic experimentation where technology plays a central role.

The exhibition takes place at the non-profit organization – Williamsburg Art & Historical Center, aka WAH Center, a 19th-century landmark that has witnessed the evolution of art and technology across generations. By embracing new media and forward-thinking approaches, the WAH Center merges its historic legacy with art’s innovative future.

Selected artists for the exhibition are eligible for multiple awards celebrating creativity, experimentation, and excellence. Works that innovatively use technology will receive special consideration for awards. The jury seeks outstanding, tech-driven pieces that push boundaries.

All awards will be decided by the jury panel. Winners will be announced at the exhibition opening reception, and all participating artists will benefit from exposure through the exhibition’s publicity and catalog.

Awards include:

* **Excellence in Merging Art & Tech**: Awarded to the submission that best exemplifies innovative use of technology as a medium. The winner will receive a cash prize of **$500** and a feature in the exhibition catalog highlighting their work’s conceptual and technical contributions.
* **Creative Innovation:** Awarded to a work that shows outstanding creativity and risk-taking: Cash prize: **$500**
* **Emerging Talent:** Awarded to an emerging artist (within the first five years of their practice) who demonstrates exceptional promise in integrating technology with art. Cash prize: **$500**
* **Honorable Mentions:** Additional notable works may receive honorable mentions and will be highlighted during the exhibition opening (non-monetary recognition).
