“Living Without Leaving?” – European Commission Opens Call for Young Artists in the Adriatic-Ionian Region

This competition invites young artists (18-35) from the Adriatic-Ionian region to reflect on migration, belonging, and the right to stay. Through painting, ceramics, digital art, and mixed media, participants will explore their connections to their homeland and cultural heritage.

Selected artworks will be showcased in a touring exhibition across Belgium, Greece, Albania, and North Macedonia in 2025.

Organized in partnership with the University of Ioannina – Faculty of Fine Arts, this initiative is part of the European Commission’s support for the EU Strategy for the Adriatic and Ionian Region, promoting inclusion, cooperation, and solidarity.
