onassis air open call 2026/27

After six successful years supporting nearly 250 Fellows from around the world, Οnassis AiR has become a container of cross-disciplinary exchange among local and international art practitioners and researchers. Last year’s open call received almost 2300 applications, reflecting the program’s growing reach.

Process, research, and experimentation are at the core of the residency where participants are invited to delve deeper into their practice without the pressure of presenting a final work.

Serving as a point of access to the ecosystem of Onassis Culture, Onassis AiR offers participants the opportunity to explore future production, co-production, or presentation possibilities and receive support for the international trajectory of their work.

Through connection with the curatorial team of Onassis Stegi and a tailored mentoring scheme, Onassis AiR Fellows can develop their research or projects under the guidance of experienced art professionals, while expanding their knowledge and networks in their respective fields.

Situated in the European south and the eastern Mediterranean, Onassis AiR creates space for dialogue, idea-sharing, and engagement with current issues, recognizing the necessity of addressing the tensions and challenges that arise both within its immediate context and across an ever-shifting global landscape.
