International Artist-in-Residence Programme
Shanghai Himalayas Museum International Artist-in-Residence Programme is a cross-regional project residence project host by Shanghai Himalayas Museum and co-organized by the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute (Chongqing), Red Brick Art Museum (Beijing), Gwangju Museum of Art (Korea), National Museums Liverpool (England). Based on the mutual visits and though an abundant investigation, analysis and site visits, the programme encourages the participation from artists with independent creation and research achievement, as well as to promote the cultural interaction and academic exchange by the means of production, exchange and display. We will also continue to develop more exchange programmes with more countries and cities.
Based on the branch of Zhujiajiao Art Museum, Shanghai Himalayas Museum officially launched the International Artist-in-Residence Programme in 2010. It has attracted a number of artists from various countries, including United States, Japan, India, Germany, France, Finland, Canada, Austria, Australia, South Korea, Hong Kong, etc.
