Artist Opportunities in Europe

Europe is the world's most established destination for creative residencies. The landscape spans fully funded fellowships in French châteaux, fee-based studio programs in post-industrial Lisbon, art exchanges across Tuscany and Andalusia, and paid commissions from galleries and hotels from Athens to Amsterdam.

Artaway connects artists directly with European hosts — no intermediaries, no commission fees. Whether you're looking for a three-month residency with a studio and stipend or a two-week exchange where your work covers the stay, the listings below are a starting point.
