ILA’s Resettlement Assistance program guides at-risk artists as they navigate the relocation process and provides support as they reestablish themselves professionally in Europe.
About Resettlement Services
At-risk artists who experience forced displacement and relocation typically arrive in a new country suddenly and unexpectedly, without resources, a plan of action, or a community to act as a safety net upon arrival. They have often experienced trauma in conjunction with their displacement. As a result, for most at-risk artists, it takes time to re-stabilize.
ILA’s Resettlement Assistance program exists to help at-risk artists rebuild stability and regain the conditions needed to continue creating. We support artists not only as beneficiaries of protection, but as professionals with long-term goals, creative identities, and the right to participate fully in public and cultural life.
دامنه برنامه
ILA’s Resettlement program includes:
- Personalized resettlement planning, adapted to each artist’s situation
- Connections to professional opportunities, institutions, and networks
- Support navigating administrative and logistical needs, through referrals and trusted partners
- Resources for well-being, including mental health and social support services
- Guidance toward financial assistance opportunities, emergency funds, and grants when available
Our Approach: Holistic Resettlement Services
An artist’s creative process can often return only once basic needs are stabilized.
That is why our approach is holistic: we aim to support each artist’s personal realities as well as their professional trajectory, with care, respect, and long-term perspective.
We assist artists in re-establishing themselves professionally through:
- Access to open calls, residencies, fellowships, and educational pathways
- Help preparing applications, CVs, portfolios, and artist statements
- Strategic guidance for building a professional and artistic network in a new country
What We Don’t Provide
Our program is designed to support and guide artists through a network-based model. It does not include:
- Direct housing provision
- Direct financial assistance or fundraising
- Direct mental health counseling or social work
- Tax advice or formal legal services outside ILA’s casework
