Onassis AiR Residencies and Fellowships 2025/26 (Greece)
Onassis AiR announces its new Open Call for the 2025/26 season aiming to foster artistic research and process by providing space and time to arts professionals from diverse geographies and disciplines, enabling them to delve deeper into their practice without the pressure of presenting a final work.
For 2025/26 the programme invites artists, curators, artisans, performance artists, choreographers, fashion and costume designers, writers, dramaturgs, architects, filmmakers, sculptors, light and sound designers, and other creative practitioners from any medium of expression or discipline, to apply for one of the available residency strands that will take place in Athens, Greece, between September 2025 and July 2026.
The residencies and fellowships will take place in three cycles: Fall (8 September 2025 – 5 December 2025), Spring (2 February 2026 – 30 April 2026) and Summer (11 May 2026 – 31 July 2026).
There are four different strands (with a total of 33 Residencies & Fellowships):
- Onassis AiR Extended Research Residencies: a programme of artistic residencies with a duration of three months.
- Onassis AiR Dramaturgy Fellowships: for directors, choreographers, dancers, dramaturgs, authors, playwrights, or practitioners working in the wider fields of theatre and dance arts.
- Onassis AiR/ONX Fellowships: for the development of new media art and immersive art.
- Onassis AiR Technical Residencies: art professionals working in the technical support of theatre, dance, music, cinema, and digital productions who are eager to further develop their skills.
All programme participants will be invited to participate in the Onassis AiR Open Days, a series of two-day public events held once per residency cycle. Additionally, all participants are encouraged to contribute to the ever-growing Οnassis AiR Community by offering something back in the form of a workshop, in-progress presentation, lecture, screening, skill-sharing session, or any other format of your choice.
All selected participants will receive an artist’s fee, the potential for a research/production budget, housing, travel to/from Athens, a collective budget for group site-visits and research trips, opportunities to engage with the art scene in Athens through networking events, and access to mentoring and audiovisual equipment.
Deadline: 7 March 2025
