call for emerging artists working in non-conventional venues

Starting from 2025, the IN SITU network will launch PLATFORM, a four year programme to identify and support 200 emerging artists. It proposes a support platform to develop artistic creations at the European level in public spaces and non-conventional venues.

After the immersive labs, IN SITU partners will implement the second phase of the PLATFORM cycle, ‘Producing and Presenting’. Around 10 artistic projects will be chosen from those presented by the artists selected from this open call. These projects will be supported within the network through residencies, co-productions, and touring opportunities. The projects selected in this second phase should aim to present during the summer 2026 for European touring opportunities.

It is important to note that the projects will benefit from support and co-funding but the programme does not aim to cover the entire costs of each production. Each artist or collective selected in the subsequent phase will benefit from at least two residencies and one presentation opportunity funded by the network.

At the end of this process, a FOCUS event will take place in September 2026 in the context of the European festival Fira Tàrrega, that will present several artistic projects supported by IN SITU.
