About the
Program

The EAVA Artists' Residency is a 4-month mentorship and studio support program designed for artists whose work bridges the gap between creativity and activism.

We provide a sanctuary for artists to experiment, fail, and grow. Our focus is on social practice—art that doesn't just hang on a wall, but lives, breathes, and fights for human rights in the real world.

Inclusion
