What does Trans Artists do?
Trans Artists is a knowledge centre on artist-in-residence opportunities. We offer you all about facts, use and value of international artist-in-residence programs as well as other opportunities for artists to stay and work elsewhere 'for art's sake'.
Trans Artists operates mainly from the artists' perspective and usually cooperates with a wide range of partners in all world regions, increasingly more in depth within European countries. Trans Artists makes the enormous worldwide residential art labyrinth accessible and usable to the artists, through its website, newsletter, research and workshop programs.
Trans Artists is also:
* the coordinator of ON-AiR: a European wide trajectory of workshops and training programs for artists about using artist-in-residence opportunities, organized together with 15 partner organizations in 15 different European countries. The ON-AiR project has started in 2010 and lasts till 2012. ON-AiR is funded with support from the European Commission.* the coordinator of AiR Platform NL, the platform and international portal of Dutch artist-in-residence programs.
* the Netherlands coordinator of the European Pépinières program for young artists: a triennial, competitive program that offers young artists working periods at residential art centers and art education institutes in Europe and Québec, Canada.
Trans Artists hosts:
* the secretariat of Res Artis: the member association of international residential art centers.* the secretariat of the Thami Mnyele Stichting, which offers a residence program in Amsterdam for artists from Africa.
Trans Artists currently forms part of the so-called 'basic infrastructure of the arts' of the Dutch Culture Plan 2009-2012.
