The European Investment Bank (EIB) Institute is pleased to announce the
second edition of its *Artists' Development program* (ADP), both a
mentoring programme and an artist's residency,* targeting visual artists
(aged less than 35) from Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary,
Poland, Romania, Slovakia, *and* Slovenia*. The successful applicant will
be mentored by internationally acclaimed Polish artist Mirosław Bałka.

*Eligibility*The residency is open to all individuals wishing to develop

with the mentor and local artistic environment in Luxembourg, participants
should be fluent in English.

*Jury*Applications are evaluated by a selection jury consisting of members
of the EIB Institute Arts Committee, external arts professionals and the
mentor. The jury bases its selection on the artistic quality of the

of the residency on the applicant's career, and the relevance of the
applicant's practice to the cultural context of the EIB Institute.

*Budget and duration*The EIB Institute will take over the artist's travel
costs to and from Luxembourg and Warsaw. The artist in residence will also
receive a stipend (EUR 100 per day). At the end of the residency, the
participant will receive an artist fee of EUR 1,500.

days visiting the mentor and experiencing the latter's creative studio(s)
in Warsaw. The duration of the residency in Luxembourg is four to six
weeks, starting on 1 September. The artist participating in the ADP will be
provided a living/working space located in Centre Culturel de Rencontre

Luxembourg city.

Upon completion of the residency, the EIB might consider acquiring an
artwork(s) from the artist.
