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.
TIDAL ArtS will award four Residencies in Portugal, Italy, Finland, and Hungary that come with financial grants of 50,000 Euro each. These Residencies are open to artists, collectives, and creatives who can inspire and engage people in the Mission through their unique artistic creations and community engagement activities. These artworks will connect communities to their local waters, celebrate that connection, reflect the Mission’s themes, and highlight the four key ocean and water basins that serve as regional hubs for inspiration and action. These four hubs are known within the Mission as “Lighthouses”, and they include the geographic regions around the: Atlantic-Arctic, Mediterranean, Baltic-North Sea, Danube-Black Sea.
