Artist Residencies in Georgia

GeoAIR Art Residency

The GeoAIR opened it's residency program in January 2010. This is a self directed residency program, that offers primarily curators and culture producers the opportunity to base themselves in Tbilisi, Georgia and use this location as a starting point to build networks, meet artists, cultural institutions and curators from the Caucasus region, and develop and deepen their knowledge and research of the Caucasus context.
 In return local artists, curators and organizations will have the opportunity to extend their knowledge about the innovative ways that many international curators are working. GeoAIR has designated her residency mainly for curators or cultural producers because it feels that they are most able to affect multiplier effects through exchange and production and are more equipped to use the residency as a platform from which to jump for to instigate future collaborations between the resident and artists and organizations form the Caucasus region.
Residents are expected to make at least one public presentation of their work or related topic for Georgian public.

ARTELI RATCHA

Since 2005 the “ARTELI RATCHA” foundation has been successfully organizing and hosting contemporary art workshops in the village of Chkvishi, in the Ratcha region of Georgia.
The aim of the “ARTELI RATCHA” project ‘Artists for Ratcha’ is to plan and organize dialogue, master classes and discussions between Georgian and international artists and a local audience.
Our initiative aims to stimulate the cultural life of the local population. We would like to help our youth get acquainted with contemporary art through interaction and cooperation with professional artists and art critics.
