Description

Artistic practitioners and cultural producers working in all creative fields, anywhere in the world, are encouraged to apply to Forecast’s international mentorship program and festival with projects that could benefit from the expertise of one of this edition’s mentors and their unique approach to material and knowledge production. The call is open to applicants of all ages and does not prescribe a theme. The program’s only requirement is to submit projects that are relevant to the expertise of the mentor you wish to work with.

For more information and to apply, click here.

Artist Payment Policy
If a mentor selects your proposal and you participate as a nominee at the Forecast Festival in July 2026, you will receive a fee of 2,000 euros. If your proposal is subsequently chosen as one of the six mentee projects to be mentored through March 2027, you will receive an artist fee of 6,000 euros and a production budget for realizing your project. The production budget will be made available in installments based on the stages of the project’s development and its budgetary requirements. It is imperative that you submit a preliminary production and budget plan to convey the project’s scale and set milestones for its realization.
