In order to broaden artists global horizons and to promote international exchange experiences, Hua Quan Village sincerely invites global artists to join our art residency program. The program will allow artists to experience Chinese culture, expand international vision, and increase the visibility of their own works in the process of international artist exchange.
We believe that through the process of interaction with local artists, the resident artists are provided with opportunity to strengthen international networking and international participation. The experience of different culture inspires creativity and by over coming cultural and language barriers, the artist also has the opportunity to connect with local community.
