TIDAL ArtS is a project offering grants to artists, collectives, and creatives to support the European Union’s Mission to Restore Our Ocean and Waters by 2030 (“the Mission”). Through the Residency Call, TIDAL ArtS will award four Residencies in Portugal, Italy, Finland, and Hungary with the aim that these artworks will connect communities to their local waters, celebrate that connection, reflect the Mission’s themes, and highlight the four key ocean and water basins that serve as regional hubs for inspiration and action. The length of time spent on site will depend on the needs of both the artist and their project; however, artists should expect to spend at least six full weeks at the Residency site over the course of the year.

Individual artists, collectives (up to 5 people ), and creatives of all types can apply. Applicants should have a portfolio of work that demonstrates their practice and experience (5+ years) relevant to the TIDAL ArtS themes of aquatic ecosystems, aquatic science, and citizen/community engagement through creative means.

The budget for each selected project is 50.000 € total. The artists will be provided with access to a network of cultural and scientific organisations and with ample opportunities to connect to the local context. Additionally, Assemblies and Workshops will provide artists with knowledge of the location and body of water.
