Artist Opportunities

Public art is a part of our public history, part of our evolving culture and our collective memory. It reflects and reveals our society and adds meaning to our cities. As artists respond to our times, they reflect their inner vision to the outside world, and they create a chronicle of our public experience.

Artist residencies are programs that bring artists together of varying disciplines and practices to live and work together in a new place. There are also solo residencies available. Artist residencies can last anywhere between a few days to months. Residencies are often held in place that can have a creative impact on an artist, from the urban sprawls of Tokyo to the remote corners of Iceland.

Artist residency groups are hosted by various organizations, and each program is often curated through an application/selection process to help create a unique mix of artists and backgrounds.

Funding grants play a crucial role in supporting artists by providing them with financial resources to pursue their creative aspirations.

These grants not only enable artists to develop their craft, but also allow them to explore new artistic avenues, take risks and experiment. By alleviating financial pressures, funding grants empower artists to focus on their work without compromising their vision.

Professional development plays a crucial role in ensuring success in the competitive world of art. Artists need to constantly improve their skills and techniques to keep up with the industry. This can be achieved through attending workshops, taking classes and seeking mentorship. Moreover, artists need to network with other professionals in the field to gain exposure, collaborate on projects and find potential job opportunities.
