A LONG TERM VISION FOR  SOCIAL AND CULTURAL REGENERATION THROUGH THE VEHICLE OF INTERNATIONAL ART PROGRAMS.

Art is known for its potential to transform environments both economically and socially.

 

The International Residency Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting cultural, social, and cultural growth.

 

Working in communities across Europe, we use the vehicle of international artist residencies as a regenerative tool, attracting international awareness and investment into underserved communities.

​

Driving positive change by exposing communities to new ideas and skills though workshops, social events, exhibitions, talks and cross-cultural collaborations between artists. 

 

Acting as a tool for soft diplomacy, our program nurtures communities' unique cultural growth, supports the advancement of democracy, and builds international networks for artists and their surrounding communities, while creating hubs for artistic and technological innovation.​
