New Artist Residency in the Phillippines

Good morning everyone. Just so you know, the 2012 Art Contest is officially closed. Winners will be announced on my website later this month. 


Here is a new residency—I don't know anything about it but it is in a region where there are few if any residencies so although you must pay a small amount to stay there, it could be a very interesting experience:

(ARTISTS) the Ang Bahay ng Sining Artist Residency in the Phillippines—Ang Bahay ng Sining or The House of Art is an artist-in-residence program directed to international or local artists which aims to create a cultural exchange between artists and the community. It is an art house for artists who would like to create an art project in collaboration with the local people. Great opportunities lie within this dwelling which implores the result of a mutual trade of ideas, inspiration and experience between diverse cultures. It also serves as a meeting place designed to bring people from different ethnic traditions, backgrounds and walks of life closer to each other which opens a gateway to creating and sharing beautiful moments full of passion in creativity and in life.

Project Objective: 

The main objective of Ang Bahay ng Sining is to increase community awareness pertaining to the different mediums in the field of visual arts, music and other artistic crafts which aims to establish Quezon City as the premier arts, culture, music and design hub in Metro Manila.

Disciplines: Drawing/Painting, Film, Media Art, Multi Media, New Media, Performance Art, Photography, Sculpture

Language: English

Location: Ang Bahay ng Sining is located within a commercial road in the center of the vibrant city of Quezon City.

Outcome:  

 

A final exhibition of works will be presented at the end of the residency program wherein the artists would be showcasing their public artworks to the general public at the Bario Obrero Street Art Festival. Artists may also have the opportunity to facilitate outreach programs such as talks, workshops and exhibitions, intended to promote interaction and professional development within the community.

Duration: The artist-in-residence program will invite  artists to stay from 1-3 months.

Paid by artist: 

The artist would have to pay for their own travel expenses, health insurance, materials, food and personal needs. The residency’s accommodation costs $250 a month which covers wi-fi internet, technical and administrative support and utility expenses. We would, however, be more than happy to help the participants in providing any official letter or support letters if required. Click this link to get information on how to pay.
