China Residencies

We believe diplomacy shouldn’t just be left up to politicians. Artists are cultural and social changemakers and we are passionate about creating opportunities for artists to bring a broader cultural understanding into their work and communities.

Over 30 artist residency programs that give artists time and space to create work in China, but thousands of creatives don't have a way to connect with these opportunities.

The not for profit mission of China Residencies is to:

• Create a comprehensive directory and an online platform for visiting artists and hosting organizations.
• Foster successful creative exchanges by strengthening the network of programs.
• Research organizational best practices, archival systems, and mapping exchange.
