Are you an athlete and also someone who creates art? Join the Olympian Artists Programme to become part of a thriving community and showcase your work to a wider audience.

The Olympian Artists Programme is a one-of-a-kind initiative that celebrates your creative talent and offers you the opportunity to showcase your work to an international audience. It also allows you to participate in community-based projects and share your experiences as athletes and artists through special projects and workshops.

Since being established, the programme has given many athletes the chance to display their work in special exhibitions or to lead workshops at PyeongChang 2018, Tokyo 2020, Beijing 2022, and Paris 2024, and Milano Cortina 2026.

With new and exciting opportunities coming at LA28 and beyond, we’re looking for more creative Olympians to join the community.

Who can join?

The programme is open to all Olympians and Paralympians, active or retired, who engage with the creative arts at any level.

This includes: visual arts (painting, photography, drawing, sculpture...), graphic design & applied arts, performing arts / music, film & moving image, fashion design, arts & crafts, literary arts, culinary arts and more.

Why should you join?

For many Olympians, art and creativity are an extension of their identity as an athlete, with these fields of activity going hand in hand and providing balance.

If you are selected for participation in an upcoming initiative, you will benefit from a unique and exciting personal and professional experience while celebrating your creativity and sharing your artwork on a global stage!
