# EMAP media art residencies offer €4,000 grants, closing 6 November

Fifteen European hosts take residents for two months in 2027; students below PhD level cannot apply.

Published 27 October 2026 by EuGFA in The Briefing. Interests: Practice and learning.

## What happened

The European Media Art Platform (EMAP) opened its call for 2027 residencies on 3 September 2026. It closes on 6 November 2026 at 14:00 CET. Selected artists spend two months at one of 15 host organisations, from Ars Electronica in Linz to WRO Art Center in Wrocław, and are invited to a conference at LABoral in Gijón on 11 and 12 March 2027.

The applying artist receives a €4,000 grant that covers subsistence, plus a €4,000 project budget. A collaborating artist receives €2,000, or a duo receives €6,000 in total. Collaboration is required: applicants enter as a duo or collective, or propose a project with a partner, who need not be confirmed when applying.

## Why it matters

The call names digital, media, robotic and bio art. It does not mention AI, film or moving image, so a generative-video artist applies under media art, with a project built for a lab residency rather than a screening. Applicants must be EU residents or taxpayers, or from eligible non-EU countries such as Norway and Ukraine. Undergraduate and Master's students are excluded; PhD candidates and emerging artists of any age may apply.

## Still open

The number of residencies to be awarded is not stated on the call pages as of 27 October 2026.
