TIDAL ArtS is a Mission Ocean project funded by Horizon Europe, bringing together artists, scientists, and coastal and inland communities across Europe to explore innovative solutions for water sustainability.
Through artist residencies at four dedicated partner sites, we’re creating a space where creative practice will make scientific research accessible. We intend these Residencies to spark conversation, and inspire action around ocean and water challenges.
