Subject to the final approval of the European Union’s Creative Europe programme, the European Media Art Platform (EMAP) invites artists, artist duos, collectives, and artistic collaborations working in digital, media, robotic, and bio art to apply for a two-month production residency in 2026.
The link to the submission site will be published in February. Deadline will be 13th of March 2026 2pm.

Initiated by werkleitz and co-funded by Creative Europe since 2018, the European Media Art Platform (EMAP) is a network of 16 leading European organisations working at the forefront of digital and media art, bio art, and robotic art. The platform brings together renowned festivals and institutions dedicated to interdisciplinary artistic practices.

Through an annual open call, EMAP offers fully funded two-month residencies for artists. Each residency is designed as an intercultural and interdisciplinary exchange between artists and host organisations, providing an artist fee, travel support, production budget, free accommodation, and access to professional labs and facilities.

Beyond the residency period, EMAP supports the visibility and circulation of artistic work through exhibitions, festivals, conferences, and capacity-building workshops—both on-site and online. Acting as an international marketplace for media art, EMAP connects artists with a growing global network of partners, creating opportunities for presentation, collaboration, and long-term impact worldwide.
