<div align="center"><b>The European Investment Bank (EIB) Institute is
pleased to announce the 2024 edition of its Artists Development
Programme (ADP) in partnership with the Cité internationale des arts
(Paris) and neimënster (Neumünster Abbey Heritage Site for
Culture) (Luxembourg), for which it is looking for TWO visual
artists (born after 1 January 1989) from an EU Member State to work on
the theme "Disruption: The Imprint of Man."</b><br>
</div>
<div align="center">"Disruption: The Imprint of Man" aims to offer
a unique vantage point on the Anthropocene. Building on the past
residency theme "Anthropocene - The Imprint of Man" (2014-2017),
"Disruption" broadens the focus beyond the environment to include
topical social issues in the European Union: the decline of solidarity
and respect as values, generational clashes, and the meaning of intra
and international relations. Artists are invited to meditate on human
behaviour and its consequences. "Disruption" is therefore
understood not only in its physical sense, but also as a social,
cultural and behavioural phenomenon.</div>
<div align="center"><br></div>
<div align="center">The ADP offers emerging European visual artists a
three-month residency, enabling them to develop their practice and
create a new (body of) work(s), boosted by the mentorship of a
renowned artist. In 2024, the residency will take place over three
months between the Cité internationale des arts in Paris for two
months (September-October), and neimënster in Luxembourg for one
month (November). The laureates will be mentored by acclaimed
Franco-Italian artist Tatiana Trouvé, as well as professor, theorist
and art critic Christophe Kihm.</div>

<div align="center"><b>About the European Investment Bank (EIB)
Institute</b></div>
<div align="center"><br></div>
<div align="center">The EIB Institute was set up within the EIB Group
(European Investment Bank and European Investment Fund) to promote and
support social, artistic, cultural, and academic initiatives with
European stakeholders and the public at large.</div>
<div align="center"><br></div>
<div align="center">One of its flagship initiatives is the Artists
Development Programme (ADP). The ADP offers European visual artists a
residency mentored by an internationally renowned artist. It enables
artists to develop their practice and work on the production of an
artwork without any material constraints.</div>
<div align="center"><br></div>
<div align="center">Upon its completion, a series of events mark the
end of the residency: an exhibition, the introduction of the artists
to appropriate public fora, and, typically, the acquisition of the
programme's artworks by the EIB to enrich its contemporary art
collection.<br>
</div>
<div align="center"><b>About the Cité internationale des
arts</b></div>
<div align="center"><br></div>
<div align="center">The Cité internationale des arts is an artists'
residency centre that brings together artists in the heart of Paris
and allows them to implement a creative or research project in all
disciplines.</div>
<div align="center"><br></div>
<div align="center">For periods of two months to a year, in the Marais
or in Montmartre, the Cité internationale des arts allows artists to
work in an environment conducive to creation and open to meetings with
professionals from the cultural milieu. Artists in residence benefit
from customised support from the Cité internationale des arts team
and the opportunity to meet and exchange with more than 300 artists
and art professionals of all generations, nationalities, and
disciplines.<br>
</div>
<div align="center"> In collaboration with its many partners, the
Cité internationale des arts calls for applications on specific
themes and/or projects several times a year.<br>
</div>
<div align="center"><b>About </b>Neumünster<br>
</div>
<div align="center">Neumünster Abbey Heritage Site for Culture, also
known as neimënster, is a historical site in Luxembourg City with a
rich history spanning four centuries. Originally a Benedictine abbey,
it later served as a military bastion and prison, including during the
Nazi occupation. Today, it is a cultural center focused on restoring
its spiritual vocation and promoting humanist values.<br>
</div>
<div align="center">Neumünster hosts a wide range of events,
including concerts, conferences, arts performances, festivals, and
exhibitions. Many of these events are free, and the public parts of
neimënster are open seven days a week. Additionally, neimënster
provides support and space for artistic experimentation through artist
residencies, offering accommodations and workspaces for resident
artists, and the possibility of public work-in-progress
presentations.<br>
