AAW Artists Residency Programme is one of three proposals under
the frame of AAW projects (Alexandria to Africa to World) which
propose international artists workshop, international youth
salon and international artists residency programme, it’s a four
weeks artists residency programs, which is open to any artist
working in any media from anywhere in the world. (painting,
sculpture, graphic, drawing, photography, installation, video
art, performance, music, theatre and writers).
The aims of the Artists Residency Program are to facilitate
cultural exchange and creative dialogue internationally and
locally by bringing together artists from diverse cultural
backgrounds in a stimulating and supportive environment. In this
milieu, artists have formed strong professional bonds and
lifelong friendships, AAW projects responds to the needs of the
Art Community in Alexandria by providing individual studios
within an interactive environment.
The studios are rented as private spaces in which to work on a
full time basis
(from 10:00 am to 10:00 pm).
The studio ethos is one of co-operation and interaction. Studio
space and interaction with a broader community of artists is
necessary to ensure a professional attitude towards work that is
being created. Artists Residency Program’ Studios address a
further need for the community of Alexandria to integrate within
a meeting place where art is seen with the respect it deserves.
