IACCCA

The Artists Development Programme (ADP) is the flagship
initiative of the European Investment Bank’s Arts & Culture
programme. A unique talent accelerator, it mirrors the EIB’s
investment in Europe’s knowledge economy by offering the next
generation of European artists the opportunity to develop their
practice in a high-quality professional setting, under the
mentorship of an internationally-acclaimed artist. More than just
a residency scheme, the ADP also serves as a living laboratory
for examining the most pressing issues of today — climate
change, global economies, migration, diversity, the coronavirus
pandemic, the war in Ukraine — through the lens of art.

In 2018, the EIB Institute published a book documenting the
18 laureates of the ADP’s first six editions. Four years later, as
the programme reaches its ten-year anniversary, it is only right
to take another look back and celebrate what has been
achieved since. Dive in and find out more about the next
generation of ADP laureates and mentors.
