Open calls and residencies
Opportunities for artists across Europe: open calls, residencies, awards and grants. Every listing carries its deadline, whether there is a fee, and the source it was checked against. When you decide to apply, Samlio turns the works you choose into the portfolio the form asks for.

In Situ Residency 2027
Six months in a live-in studio in the Marais for artists in the first decade of practice, paid EUR 1,000 a month plus a EUR 2,000 production grant. One of the few Paris residencies that asks for English rather than French.
Trame Residency 2027
A three-month funded studio residency in Paris for artists with five or more years of practice, paying EUR 1,000 net a month plus a EUR 1,000 production grant. Ten places. French is required, which rules it out for much of the English-speaking scene.
Art Explora x Cité internationale des arts Residency 2027
A funded Montmartre studio residency of three to six months paying EUR 1,000 a month, with up to EUR 3,000 for production and travel to Paris covered. No age limit and no institutional backing needed, which is rarer than it sounds.

What gets listed
This calendar is for artists who apply on their own behalf. No assistant, no gallery filing it for them. So we list what such an artist can actually enter, and leave out what she cannot.
Nothing invitation-only or nomination-only. Nothing that requires gallery representation to submit. Nothing restricted to enrolled students. Every listing is checked against the organiser’s own announcement before it appears, and where there is an entry fee the amount is on the card rather than four pages in.
There are aggregators with thousands of entries. This one is shorter on purpose.
Running an open call or a residency programme? Send it to rebecka@samlio.com and it will be checked and listed. There is no charge and no paid placement.
