The Elyssa project is an initiative of the French Institute of Tunisia supported by the Team France Fund. It provides an opportunity for artists based in Tunisia to express their creativity while benefiting from structured professional support.
CALL FOR APPLICATIONS ESTABLISHED VISUAL ARTISTS
The French Institute of Tunisia (IFT) is launching a second call for applications for established visual artists as part of the Elyssa project, a fund to support creation and cultural entrepreneurship in Tunisia.
Elyssa aims to support the Tunisian artistic scene by identifying and supporting innovative projects in the fields of visual arts and music.
By joining the programme, artists benefit from tailored support with training and mentoring sessions, a 21-day artistic residency dedicated to research and experimentation, financial support for production and local and international networking with professionals from the sector for the duration of the programme.
Elyssa’s ambition is to create a stimulating environment for artists, nurtured by exchange, to guide them in their creative process, enhance their visibility and promote the distribution of their work.
