States focusing on the theme of "The Imprint of Man - Representing 
the Anthropocene."

The ADP offers emerging European visual artists a month-long 
residency in Luxembourg, enabling them to develop their practice and 
create a new (body of) work(s), boosted by the mentorship of a 
high-profile established artist. In 2017, the recipients wil each be 
mentored by acclaimed British artist Callum Innes.

The artist will receive a stipend (EUR 100 per day) and will be 
provided with a living/working space. At the end of the residency, 
the participant will receive a success fee of EUR 1,500, provided 
he/she has produced an artwork. The duration of the residency in 
Luxembourg will be one month in June 2017. 

Upon completion of the residency, the EIB may acquire the artwork(s) 
produced on-site from the artist.
