The Tracks4Crafts project invites applications for the Accelerator4Crafts Residency Programme, an opportunity for craftspeople, creative entrepreneurs, and businesses to join a collaborative journey.
Tracks4Crafts is a Europe-wide initiative that supports and revitalises traditional crafts by connecting local craftsmanship with contemporary markets and audiences. Selected participants will take part in a hybrid programme that combines:
- A two-week in-person residency at a hosting pilot site
- Three online sessions: one onboarding session before arrival and two follow- up sessions afterwards.
A total of eight residency opportunities are available, which will take place between April and June 2026.
Locations are:
- Waag FutureLab (The Netherlands)
- Icelandic Textile Center (Iceland)
- Bokrijk (Belgium)
- Onl’fait (Switzerland)
- Semne Cusute (Romania)
- The Art of Silk Museum (Greece)
- MX3D (The Netherlands)
- Artex (Italy)
Each selected resident will have their flights covered and will receive paid accommodation where necessary, if not provided by the host.
