ACCESS is a Creative Europe supported project aiming for musical experiences that can be enhanced by new forms of listening, creating and engaging audiences and artists, in places not dedicated to music. During its two year duration, six artistic residencies aggregated in two different cycles will take place in different countries – France, Portugal and Czech Republic. 

After a first cycle between September 2024 and May 2025, here is the call about the three residencies of the second cycle (2025-2026).

It is directed to artists with a close relation with music and sound, with a focus on experimentation, innovation, improvisation, cooperative creation and audience engagement.

The selected artists will take part of an artistic residency, with a duration of seven days (8 days for Prague), where a group of seven European artists will work collectively under several work strategies, from open and graphic scores, soundscape composition, sonic ecology or collective improvisation to create, record and present publicly the output of their work. Each residency has a specific theme, directly related with the space where it will take place.

For more information about each residency, please see here.
