Residency & Cultural Exchange

YAZU participates in a China-based Artist Residency Program as a committee member and funding partner, supporting international artistic exchange through curatorial, institutional, and non-profit collaboration.

​

Each year, YAZU offers a single residency invitation, developed in partnership with a selected art institution, non-profit organization, or curatorial platform. The invited artist is nominated or recommended through this collaborative framework, ensuring strong curatorial alignment and meaningful cultural engagement.

​

The residency is conceived as a focused artist residency, offering comprehensive support for artistic research and creation. Support includes travel assistance, accommodation, dedicated studio facilities, and a creation stipend. The residency period is a minimum of two months.

​

As part of the residency framework, a portion of the artworks created during the residency contributes to the institutional collection of the local Art Center, supporting public access, cultural preservation, and long-term international exchange.

​

For international based partners, collaborations may be facilitated through YAZU Group LLC (non-profit project), a Delaware-registered entity, enabling streamlined partnership structures and administrative alignment where required.

​

​

Nominated artists are asked to provide a brief portfolio including:

​

（1）Curriculum Vitae / Resume

（2）A outline of their intended work or focus during the residency

（3）Images of recent artworks

​

Detailed guidelines and support information will be provided individually upon nomination. Institutions or curatorial partners interested in collaborating with YAZU are welcome to contact us directly.
