The purpose of the ‘ICCR’s Art Residency visitors programme" (ARVP), is to invite eminent artists from abroad and introduce them to Indian culture, Art form and encourage them to familiarize themselves with India and its art landscape, networking with relevant artists, curators and art professionals in India and strengthen people to people contact. Before proposing an ARVP visit, the Mission should send the artists’ detailed profile and their interest in collaboration with Indian artists. ICCR would then identify a suitable art centre/institution for the artist(s) for such collaboration. The artist(s) would then spend considerable time at the residence provided at the centre or institution. Before Departing from India, the invited artist(s) will present one artwork to ICCR created by the artist(s) during their Art Residency, collaborate with other Indian artists and create one joint art programme/exhibition etc. They will also share their experiences about spending time under the Art Residency Programme(ARVP) of ICCR. ICCR may also consider organizing a joint exhibition at the end of the Art Residency.
