"Dear, Sir or Madam

The Pépinières européennes pour jeunes artistes organise for the 5th
time the artists in context - artistes contre l'exclusion programme.
This programme, dedicated to artists from 18 to 25 years old, is
designed to address the desire of emerging artists, to invent new forms
of _expression and to question the place of the artist in our society.

In this programme, the numerous places of residency are not held within
conventional contexts of contemporary creation. They include places such
as hospitals, social centres, marginalized urban zones or isolated rural
zones. Artist-volunteers can consider these places as new arenas for
exploration and experimentation.

In these unusual places, the artist is expected to get involved in new
forms of artistic practice.

For the 5th edition of the programme, 15 artists will be hosted in 13
residencies of 8 European countries. The residencies will take place
between September 2004 and July 2005. The applications must be sent
before July 24th , 2004

Please find enclosed for information the call for applications, which is
also available on our website: www.art4eu.net ."
