Onassis AiR Invites Applications for Residencies and Fellowships in Athens


After five successful years and the support of more than 200 fellows, Onassis AiR, the artistic research, residency, and fellowship program of the Onassis Foundation, has become a hub for cross-disciplinary exchange among local and international art practitioners and researchers. Onassis AiR invites creative practitioners from around the world working in any medium of expression or discipline to apply for a residency or fellowship in Athens, Greece, between September 2025 and July 2026.

For 2025/26, the program enhances its function as an instigator of creative experimentation offering opportunities on four different strands:

The Onassis AiR Extended Research Residencies
A three-month residency program tailored for creators (individuals or collectives) seeking dedicated time and space to nurture, develop, or refine in-progress work, with the support and peer-to-peer connection needed to move their projects forward.

The Onassis AiR Dramaturgy Fellowships
A three-month fellowship for performing arts professionals from Greece or based in Greece to develop a new theater, dance, and/or performing arts project that has not yet been presented.

The Onassis AiR/ONX Fellowships
A two-month fellowship for projects that combine immersive narratives, mixed realities, and performative elements to address the potential of computational technologies to foster sustainable practices.

The Onassis AiR Technical Residencies
For the first time, Onassis AiR welcomes art professionals working in the technical areas of theater, dance, music, cinema, and digital productions for a three-month residency to advance their skills in Stage Management, Theater Production, Scenic/Lighting/Sound Design, and Art & Advanced Technologies projects. 

Onassis AiR will award a total of 33 residencies and fellowships. Selected participants will receive an artist’s fee, a research budget, housing, and travel to and from Athens, among other benefits. Participants are encouraged to engage with the Onassis AiR Community through an offering in the form of a workshop, screening, or any other format they wish to propose.

Applications must be submitted by March 7 at 12am (EST) (12pm UTC+2).
