The European Investment Bank (EIB) Institute is pleased to announce the 
2019 edition of its Artists Development Programme (ADP), for which it is 
looking for two visual artists (born after January 1, 1984) from 
Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania or Romania.

The ADP offers emerging European visual artists a 6 week-long residency 
in Luxembourg, enabling them to develop their practice and create a new 
(body of) work(s), boosted by the mentorship of a high-profile 
established artist. In 2019, the recipients will each be mentored by 
acclaimed Finnish artist Jorma Puranen.

Eligibility
–Born after January 1, 1984 (35 years old or younger)
–Nationality of Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania or 
Romania
–Fluency in English

Budget and duration
The EIB Institute will cover the artists travel costs to and from 
Luxembourg (for the residency), and to and from Jorma Puranen’s studio 
(before the start of the residency). The artists will receive a EUR 100 
(one hundred euro) flat-rate daily allowance intended to cover their 
subsistence costs during the period of residency and all or part of 
their production costs, and will be provided with a living/working space.

In addition to the above, the artists will be granted, at the beginning 
of the residency, a contribution towards production of EUR 500 (five 
hundred euro) and, at the end of the residency, a success fee of EUR 1 
000 (one thousand euro), provided that they have produced a work or body 
of works.

The residency in Luxembourg will take place between the end of May and 
the beginning of July 2019.

Upon completion of the residency, the EIB might consider acquiring an 
artwork produced on-site from the artists.
