Artist Residencies at Charcoal Home in China: Call for Applications
Deadline: 10 Jul 2016
Time of residency: 2 months (Sep and Oct 2016)

From the open call:

Charcoal Home is a health resort formed around a charcoal production kiln, based in a rural village on the outskirts of Zhanjiang, a coastal city in Guangdong facing Hainan island.

The residency project is a unique opportunity for 8 visual artists to stay together at the resort for 2 months through September and October 2016. The focus of the residency project is to encourage exchange and interaction between the artists and local community, and to explore different ways of thinking and using charcoal and other local materials. A broad range of ideas and techniques are desired, working in both two and three dimensions.

Artists will be expected to each give an artist talk, presenting their work at the start of the residency, and there will be an exhibition at the Zhanjiang city art museum at the end of October. Each artist will also deliver a series of paid workshops during their stay. Additionally, each artist is expected to donate 1-2 artworks to Charcoal Home at the end of their stay.
