ABOUT THE EAST/WEST PROJECT:
 
There are no international creative residency programs that travel… Until now.
 
While it is common for artists to travel to residencies, The EAST/WEST Project is built on the concept that a program will have as much to gain as individuals from being completely immersed in different cultures.
 
The EAST/WEST Project is a 501(c) international artist residency and exhibition program that travels to different communities around the world recognized for their emerging art scene. The project encourages cultural exchange by establishing short term (about six months) project spaces for international artists to build long term relationships to share, develop and progress contemporary ideas.
