The Altos de Chavón School of Art & Design Artist-in-Residence program invites artists from all over the world for a three and a half months residence, towards the end of which they open an exhibit to showcase their work – this year opening on Thursday April 4th 2013 with a cocktail at The Gallery in Altos de Chavon.
During the Artist-in-Residence program, each artist must provide an art exhibition to be shown at The Gallery in Altos de Chavón, as well as prepare a Talk for the school, this emphasizes the importance of culture exchange which is extremely beneficial for the students education.
With 4 different artists from 4 different countries, this exhibit promises to be extraordinary. Here we introduce to the 4 artists and their works:
