EFFEA's fourth call for festivals to support emerging artists is open from 1 September to 3 November 2025. Approximately 50 residencies will be selected involving 50 emerging artists (individuals, groups or collectives) in the seat of around 150 festivals, a leading festival in collaboration with a minimum of two partner festivals each. The activities that are supported by EFFEA are centred around the EFFEA Residencies that offer time and space for artists to develop specific ideas and, eventually, present them to the audience.
