WRO Art Center, along with 10 partners, including the leading European media art organizations, institutions and festivals, launched in December 2017 the European Media Art Platform (EMAP), which is the largest international platform of artistic exchange and residency projects for media artists in Europe.
The EMAP/EMARE program offers two months residencies for European artists working in the fields of digital media, including Internet and computer-based artists, filmmakers, and those working with sound, video and/or media-based performance.
The EMAP program is scheduled for the years 2017-2021, and is aimed at producing new works, presentations, workshops, exhibitions and networking of organisations, festivals, galleries, curators, production companies.
The EMAP/EMARE program includes an artist’s honorarium and a budget for the project, free accommodation, return of the travel expenses, access to the facilities of the host institution, as well as the option to participate in international exhibitions and festivals.
