European Marine Board launches 'EMBracing the Ocean' artist residency program

The European Marine Board (EMB), of which FCT is a member alongside CIMAR-LA (made up of CCMAR and CIIMAR), has launched the 2023-2024 edition of its "EMBracing the Ocean" artist residency program, for which applications are open until February 20, 2023.

The program is looking for two new artists with the aim of awarding grants of €10,000 to individuals and creative groups to co-create works of art in collaboration with ocean scientists. The aim of the program is to expand societies' awareness of the ocean's value through art and to inspire far-reaching social change for its sustainability.

This initiative is aimed at individuals or creative groups. Both emerging and established artists can apply and will be assessed by a committee. The evaluation will take into account previous experience in co-creation with scientists and/or communities and work on sustainability-related themes.
