What does Trans Artists do?
Trans Artists is an independent foundation that informs artists of any discipline about international artist-in-residence programs and other opportunities for artists to stay and work elsewhere 'for art's sake'.
The information of Trans Artists is also intended for organizations that are involved in offering international residency opportunities or are interested to become involved: residential art centres, providers of guest studios, art initiatives, cultural institutions and governmental organisations.
Trans Artists is also:
- the Netherlands coordinator of the European Pépinières program for young artists (Pépinières=nurseries): a triennial, competitive program that offers young artists working periods at residential art centers and art education institutes in Europe and Québec, Canada.
- hosting the secretariat of Res Artis: the World Wide Association of International Residential Art Centers.
