Red Gate Residency
OPEN CALL: Yew Chung International School artist-in-residence program in Beijing, China (April & May 2017).

This funded residency includes return flights, accommodation, material costs, as well as a per diem towards day-to-day costs.
The artist-in-residence will be provided with a space on the school campus to use as a studio space. Project proposals that incorporate student participation are highly encouraged. The artist-in-residence will also be expected to provide mentorship and desk critiques to IB diploma senior art students, give artist talks, workshops, and present a final exhibition/display. Artists with a keen interest in and past experience working with students are highly preferred.

Return flights (up to 1,500 USD)
