CROSS CULTURAL COLLABORATIONS IN GHANA

ALL DISCIPLINES: Cross Cultural Collaborative, Inc. is a non-profit educational organization that promotes cultural exchange and understanding. Their programs emphasize multi-generational and multicultural collaborations. CCC brings artists from different cultures together in a supportive environment where they can get to know each other through the language of art. At the core of their program is the belief that interaction between African and non-African artists enriches the creativity of both groups. CCC, Inc. invites artists and scholars from all over the world to work with Ghanaians on collaborative projects that range from mosaic walls to documentary films.

Cross Cultural Collaborative, Inc. is a research center and meeting place for exhibits, community based art workshops, performances, conferences, classes and other venues that relate to cultural awareness and appreciation. Workshops are held at the CCC, Inc. center located on the ocean in a suburb of Accra. They provide double occupancy guest rooms with private bath, studio space and gallery space. Meals are prepared by a local cook. For more information, go to: http://www.culturalcollaborative.org

This is great. I've started the Ghana Poetry Project to promote a literary culture in Ghana and begin a small press there.

Welcome to Mira's List

This blog provides information on upcoming grants, fellowships and residencies for artists, writers, composers, and media artists. It is for serious professionals only, from emerging to mid-career to established. I also publish information for graduate students from time to time. However, I do not publish information on exhibition or publishing opportunities, nor do I advertise artist retreats and workshops that charge money. At least that is my current policy. For more info on where to exhibit or publish, please see my links section which I try to periodically update. I sift through hundreds of search engines and websites to find opportunities for YOU dear artist. In return, I ask you to pass the information along to those who need it. Also, since this is a free blog, I don't always have the time to weed carefully through everything. If you find a grant or website or residency that is not up-to-date, is dodgy in some way, or is no longer in existence, please let me know! Also, if you stay somewhere at one of the residencies I suggest and have a good experience, I want that feedback too. Please check my FAQs at the top right side bar if you have questions before starting your search. Best wishes and happy hunting!
