The European Investment Bank (EIB) Institute is pleased to announce the 
2015 edition of its *Artists' Development Programme (ADP), targeting 
visual artists (aged less than 35) from EU Member States focusing on 
"The Imprint of Man — Representing the Anthropocene."*

The ADP provides an opportunity for the emerging visual artist to 
develop her/his practice at the highest level during a four–six week 
residency. During this time, she/he will be mentored by a leading peer, 
internationally acclaimed British artist Darren Almond. The main 
practical objective of the programme is to help bring about the 
production of an independent innovative artistic project.

*Thematic focus
*The residency is open to all individuals wishing to develop their 
practice in a professional context by creating a new (body of) work(s) 
on the theme "The Imprint of Man — Representing the Anthropocene," using 
photography, video, installations and/or new media.

*Eligibility
*Applicants should be under 35 years of age at the time of application. 
Applicants must have an EU nationality or reside in an EU country. In 
order to facilitate communications 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 and staff, external arts professionals 
and the mentor. The jury bases its selection on the proposal submitted 
answering the creative brief, the potential impact 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. The artist-in-residence will also receive a stipend (EUR 100 
per day). At the end of the residency, the participant will receive a 
success fee of EUR 1,500, provided she/he has produced an artwork.

Before or during the residency in Luxembourg, the beneficiary will spend 
a few days visiting the mentor and experiencing the latter's creative 
studio(s) in London. The duration of the residency in Luxembourg will be 
four–six weeks, in June/July 2015. The artist participating in the ADP 
will be provided a living/working space located in Centre Culturel de 
Rencontre Abbaye de Neumünster, situated in the culturally rich Grund 
district of Luxembourg City.

Upon completion of the residency, the EIB might consider acquiring the 
artwork(s), which was/were produced on site, from the artist.

*Application procedure
Requirements
*– CV (in English)
– Scanned copy of the passport, identity card of the applicant or other 
document evidencing legitimate residence in one of the eligible 
countries (in English)

expectations for the programme together with a concept for the theme 
proposed for the residency (maximum 500 words, in English)

the art of the applicant (in PDF, four A4 pages maximum)
– Names and contacts of two professional referees, familiar with the art 
of the applicant
– A brief reference in the body of the email to how the applicant found 
out about the programme

Any application which does not comply with the set requirements will be 
automatically eliminated.

*Selection procedure
*A jury will select the candidate for the residency to be held in 
June/July 2015 based on the proposed project, the quality of his/her 
work, and the applicant's potential to use the residency to maximum benefit.

The selected candidate will be informed of the jury's result via email 
by the end of March/beginning of April 2015.

Deadline for application is *20 February at midnight (GMT+1).
