The Alliance for Socially Engaged Arts Fellowship Program 2025-26 is open for international artists

The internationally recognized Alliance for Socially Engaged Arts is accepting applications for its inaugural Fellowship Programme. This initiative aims to support leaders of various arts organizations across Europe, who are working across diverse artistic disciplines and societal issues. Fellows will work together to overcome challenges, share experiences and create innovative solutions that create greater impact within their local communities and the wider arts sector in Europe. Fellows will participate in two residential sessions—one in Turin, Italy (October 2025) and another in June 2026—focusing on strategic growth, advocacy, and sustainability. They will receive €30,000 to implement a project addressing a community challenge and up to €5,000 for peer exchanges. The program encourages collaboration, public engagement, and policy advocacy, culminating in a final presentation where fellows showcase their impact and future plans.

The Alliance for Socially Engaged Arts is an international network founded in 2021 that supports socially engaged art initiatives across Europe. Its mission is to strengthen the role of arts in addressing societal challenges by connecting artists, organizations, and communities. The Alliance aims to foster collaboration, innovation, and sustainable change within the arts sector, empowering leaders to create social impact through creative practices.
