Summer Sessions Art and Technology Residencies 2026
The Summer Sessions are calling for applications from emerging artists and designers for short-term international art and technology residencies in the Netherlands, Italy, Croatia, Germany, Slovenia, Austria, or Romania between July and September 2026.
Summer Sessions involve a network of cultural organisations that sponsor and host the residencies. Every summer they offer early-career artists and designers support so they can take part in production residencies abroad. Selected artists will receive access to the facilities of the host institution, expert support and an opportunity to present the resulting work at a public event.
Each Summer Sessions residency lasts approximately 8 weeks and takes place between July and September. During this period artists will develop their project from concept to presentable work, ready to show.
The Sponsoring Partners of 2026 are:
Netherlands (V2_ Lab for the Unstable Media)
Italy (Sardegna Teatro)
Croatia (Metamedia)
Germany (Academy for Theatre and Digitality)
Slovenia (PiNA)
Austria (Schmiede Hallein)
Romania (Marginal)
Eligibility
Artists and designers working with art and technology are eligible to apply if they are under the age of 35 and/or have graduated within the past five years and live in a country where there is a Summer Sessions sponsoring partner.
Support
A budget will be provided to cover travel, accommodation, materials and a stipend.
deadline: 8 April 2026
