During the last seventeen years, the Pépinières Européennes pour jeunes artistes have fostering and supporting promotion and mobility of young artists amongst the European artistic scene.
The Pépinières launches a new mobility programme for the period 2008-2009, offering more than 50 residency opportunities between September 2008 and September 2009 in a diverse and wide range of artistic fields, aiming to reach new audiences.
The program addresses various artistic movements within a young generation of artists. It offers a wide range of opportunities for artistic residencies and is developed in partnership with a large number of partner organizations. The program includes three types of residency projects: open art programme, artshare, and artventure.
open art programme encourages and promotes multi-disciplinary projects in important creative sites.
artshare, dedicated to artists working in 'human relations' and specific environments, is produced in places and with people who are a far cry from the usual cultural circuits.
artventure is an innovative programme that enables artists from diverse fields of expression to combine their experiences with people from other sectors of activity and from other social environments, in order to explore new forms of dialogue and to imagine new collaborative projects.
