Residency Program at Taoxichuan Art Center Creative Studio in collaboration with Auro Artworld

Auro Artworld is thrilled to announce an exciting new collaboration with the Taoxichuan Art Center International Studio in Jingdezhen, China. This represents a dynamic fusion of cultures and artistic disciplines, creating a platform for global artists to engage with the rich heritage offered by the world-renowned porcelain capital.

About the program

The program is open to domestic and international artists (including, but not limited to, pottery, glass, and wood carving) who wish to explore the traditions and techniques of Jingdezhen’s outstanding ceramic art and experience the deep ceramic cultural heritage of the birthplace of porcelain. In return, artists will share their own regional traditions and techniques, creating a vibrant dialogue of artistry and innovation.

Residencies will be hosted at the Taoxichuan Art Center International Studio, offering artists access to state-of-the-art facilities and an inspiring environment to develop their work. Each residency period will last no less than 8 weeks, with schedules planned annually from 2024 to 2026.

Benefits for artists

Artists selected for this residency program will enjoy:

  • Reimbursement for travel to Jingdezhen (economy airfare or second-class train tickets).

  • A creative subsidy of up to 6,000 RMB for materials and production.

  • Accommodation and studio space.

  • Access to professional craftsmanship services, including 3D printing and specialized techniques.

In addition, resident artists will host public lectures or art salons, sharing their creative processes and experiences with the community. The artist should leave 3 pieces/groups of works to Taoxichuan at the end of the residence.
