The Office of Contemporary Art and Culture, Thailand, has scheduled an art exchange programme between Thai artists and artists from the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS Artist Residency) in Chiang Rai Province, under the Mekong River Basin Contemporary Art Festival Project, to enhance collaboration between artists and cultural organisations.
GMS Artist Residency, between 23 and 30 April 2024, is calling for applications from artists who hold nationality of, and currently live and work in, one of the countries in the Greater Mekong Subregion: including Myanmar, Thailand, Lao PDR, Cambodia, Viet Nam, and China (only Yunnan and Guangxi Provinces). Applicants must not be over 35 years and they must have a good command of English.
A total of 13 artists will be selected to embark on a journey to develop their creative concepts and techniques, as well as to make a study visit to the Thailand Biennale, Chiang Rai.
Round-trip travel from the selected artists’ residences within the Greater Mekong Subregion to Chiang Rai Province, Thailand, will be provided, as well as all meals and local transportation in Chiang Rai during the whole period of the programme. An artist’s fee of 10,000 THB will also be provided.
