Oceans Virtual Artist Residency

Moku Art Studio and MANGO have partnered for the Oceans Virtual Artist Residency. This collaborative program empowers participating artists to embark on the journey of developing a new project aligned with the residency's thematic focus: OCEANS

Residency Expectations

Throughout the program, artists engage in the creation of an artistic project that resonates with the residency's theme, yielding tangible outcomes. Their projects delve into the multifaceted theme of OCEANS through diverse avenues, encompassing technical, conceptual, reflective, and experiential explorations.

Upon the culmination of the virtual residency, we host a Virtual Open Studio and Exhibition Inauguration. During this event, artists virtually unveil their workspaces, showcasing their creations and engaging with virtual visitors who may inquire about the art and the artist behind it.

Residency Format

There will be 5 virtual meetings among all the international participating artists under the guidance of a member of a Moku Art Studio and/or MANGO team.  These sessions are dedicated to the inception and refinement of your artist project. Each meeting will feature suggested prompts designed to foster introspection and illuminate connections between artists' projects.

This format empowers artists to nurture their projects, present them, express concerns, and receive constructive feedback aimed at refining and enriching their concepts. You can find the detailed format and fees under our Terms and Conditions.
