Types of awards

ArtsLink awards kicked off in 1992, with support from the Soros Foundation, the National Endowment of the Arts and the Trust for Mutual Understanding. CEC ArtsLink broadened the scope from the former Soviet countries to the 30 countries of Eastern and Central Europe, Russia, Central Asia and the Caucasus. Since its inception, ArtsLink has made over $4 million in funding available to artists, arts managers and arts organisations through ArtsLink Residencies, Independent Projects and ArtsLink Projects awards. The programme has a cycle of alternate year deadlines according to discipline.

ArtsLink Residencies

This programme offers artists and arts managers from the eligible European and Asian countries a five-week residency at an established, non-profit arts organization in the US. Since 1993 over 30 applicants from Slovenia have been awarded. Among them Kolja Saksida from Zvviks Audio Visual Association (hosted by Rochester Institute of Technology in 2008), Barbara Novakovič Kolenc from Muzeum Institute (hosted by Yale School of Drama in 2007), Polonca Lovšin (hosted by Headlands Center for the Arts, Sausalito, 2006), Goran Bogdanovski from Fičo Ballet (hosted by GOH Productions, New York in 2003) ...
