The European Festivals Association (EFA) launches the European Festivals Fund for Emerging Artists - EFFEA Call #5, to support around 50 residencies taking place throughout 2027. Each residency brings together an emerging artist or collective and at least three festivals from different eligible countries, working across borders to support the artist's international development.
Applications are open from 1 September to 3 November 2026. Learn more about eligibility, evaluation criteria, and how to apply here.
The European Festivals Association, EFFEA Platform Members, Associated Partners and Creative Europe Desks are hosting a series of live and online info, Q&A, and networking moments designed to help you find clarity on the application process, answer your questions and connect with potential partners.
