WORKSHOP
BECOMING AN ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE
Wednesday 28th May, h 4:00 p.m. Bari Fiera del levante, pavilion 150 - Unioncamere
By TransArtis
The workshop will assist artists in helping to get them acquainted in the world of 'artist-in-residence'. For example by making a checklist; this will help you to match your wishes and expectations the program you want to apply for, in order to save yourself unnecessary trouble and to avoid disappointment.
"The Trans Artists Crew has inspired our students again and again with their elaborate knowledge of international guest studios and other interesting opportunities for artists to broaden their horizon abroad. Artists-in-residences are much more than just 'an alternative continuation of studies', the residence is an enormous mind opener of your own safe frame of reference and opens new ways and networks." - Krien Clevis - coordinator fine arts, academy of Maastricht.
The workshop will be make by Yeb Wiersma (NL, 1973, y.wiersma@transartists.org)
