Deadline for applications 14th January 2025 (23.59, in any timezone)
The Island Connect program is live for 2025
Now taking applications for all Open Calls
A collaborative program between seven performing arts organisations, working with residencies located on (or associated with) European islands of different countries. United in the project by a common interest in contributing to the creation and consolidation of performing arts, the network partners of the international exchange residency program, wish to address an important ambition. The project aims to support the artists and arts companies in their personal and professional development within the project’s framework and therefore is launching these open calls.
All artists wishing to participate will be asked to critically engage with the themes of insularity, islander identities or island socio-political realities in a wider European context comparing the similarities and difficulties that emerge from diverse island regions of the project.
The Island Connect program will be complemented each year by a 5-day SpringLab. The second SpringLab is in Tenerife, from March 30th to April 5th 2025.
SpringLab is a vital component of the Island Connect project
