Sixi International Artist-in-Residence Project

Description
 
Lauched in 2024 to support young emerging artists, the Sixi International Artist-in-Residence Project is committed to facilitating exchanges between artists from different backgrounds and helping them achieve creative breakthroughs and personal growth in their creative work. 
 
The Sixi AiR Project will provide living and working space, as well as financial support and other necessary assistance. An apartment in the city center and a loft studio in the outskirts are available for the research and productive demands of artists of different disciplines. Apart from the necessary hardware facilities and staff assistance, we will also help the artists to establish contacts with the local art scene. By the end of the residency period, artists will also have the opportunity to showcase their outcomes in exhibitions. 
 
Nanjing is a distinctive Chinese city that combines traditional and contemporary culture, where contemporary art is vibrant in the midst of its rich history. As one of the few local art residency programmes, the Sixi AiR Project hopes to provide artists with the opportunity to engage in dialogue with the city, and to make its contributions to the international cultural exchanges in Nanjing and the diversified development of the art ecology in contemporary China.
