Workshop experience at Kunstenaars & Co 

Trans Artists is an expert on residency opportunities. And the good thing is, Trans Artists is not afraid of sharing its expertise! That's why we frequently organize workshops for artists. As a newcomer at the Trans Artists office I was of course very curious what all the workshop talk was about.

"Does this really exist?", Trans Artists Workshop at BJCEM 2009 

The main meeting point was The House of the Army, which especially for this biennale was renamed into Creativity House. With just entering in it, you could immediately notice the changes in terms of atmosphere; the building was re-designed to fit the needs of the artists, looked much more lively and colorful than ever before...

Prologue workshops Network 

How can European art schools, art organisations and AIR programmes contribute to professionalise the artist' career of a young European artist? And what kind of education and information is needed to make them more aware of the international opportunities? Trans Artists invited several European partners to talk and discuss the topics mentioned above.

'B' As In... 

Somehow November turned out to be the month for Trans Artists to visit European capitals in Central Europe starting with the letter 'B'. B' as in Bucharest and Bratislava. Will Budapest follow? Who knows! In 2009 Trans Artists will be present in Warsaw, Skopje and Istanbul. Check this webpage to see if Trans Artists is coming to your region anytime soon!

Trans Artists Workshop Programme

How to become an 'artist-in-residence'?

Knowing that artist-in-residence programmes are "out there" is something else than knowing how to really get there. How to make a choice out of hundreds of opportunities? For which purpose? In which stage of your career? How to apply? How to match your wishes with the conditions of the residential programs on offer?

Trans Artists organizes workshops which can help artists in any stage of their carreer to get a clear insight in the ways you can find and use YOUR artist-in-residence opportunities. These meetings will give you the possibility to ask all your questions and discuss your ideas and plans with us.
