CARAVAN invites artists from diverse disciplines —including professional stage and visual artists, photographers, musicians, designers, writers, and other creatives— to apply for its residency program. CARAVAN seeks to form a multidisciplinary group of six artists from France, the Netherlands, and Spain, two from each country.
This initiative is a collaborative European project established by three partners: 2turvenhoog (Netherlands), Cie ACTA (France), and laSala (Spain). These organizations specialize in creating and presenting artistic work for very young children (ages 0–5 years) and their adult caregivers. Through CARAVAN, they aim to integrate professional artistic practices into the immediate living environments of very young children, fostering innovation and engagement with the very young children and their families. The program invites young and mid-career artists to explore new artistic strategies and models for artistic mediation. Developed through cross-sectoral dialogue and collaboration.
A "caravan" of artists will travel across Europe, creating connections in various socio-cultural communities where the three partner organizations work. During the international residencies, participants will engage in exchanges with other artists and artistic mediators of different nationalities, and local professionals specializing in childhood development.
Intergenerational, peer-to-peer collaboration between the artists, artistic mediators, and experienced artistic coaches from the partner organizations will play a central role in this initiative.
