OPEN CALL: Female Street Art Incubator Camp 2026, June 1–5, 2026

The Female Street Art Incubator (FSAI)* invites emerging female street artists to apply for a five-day educational residency designed to support artistic development, transnational exchange, and professional growth.

About the program:

The residency will take place from June 1 to June 5, 2026, in the ethno village of Dragačevo, Serbia, bringing together 10 selected artists from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Croatia, and Germany.* Through an intensive program of mentorship, workshops, and peer learning, participants will have the opportunity to:

• Develop their artistic practice
• Strengthen technical and visual skills
• Gain insights into professional development and career strategies
• Share knowledge and experiences within an international network

During the residency, each participant will develop a mural proposal that will serve as their official entry for the Female Rising Star Award (FSR Award), which provides financial support and an opportunity to create a mural in one of the partner countries.
