WHY?
Artists have their own peculiar preferences, background and
problems. The appropriate studio/performance spaces are
scarce, environment at home may not be suitable for the
creative activities, and rented spaces have limitations in terms
of time and money.The artists may come and stay here and
pursue their passion in natural environment. They will also
get a chance to interact with other artists so as to understand
various forms.Their presence can also be benecial to the
budding artists to learn and enrich their own art.The place
will also be a showcase of various art forms in form of events,
archives, workshops and residencies. This will help in spreading
awareness about art in common people. The place will work
on a semi-commercial business module.

WHO WILL BUILD?

There are numerous non government organisations
like RES ARTIS, who will build a space for their
work/performance/creative activities, where artists can
conduct workshops and interact with common people
and make earnings out of it and where interaction within
various artists will take place and encourage exchange
of creative thoughts and implementation.

WHAT IS A RESIDENCE?
WHO IS AN ARTIST?
AN ARTIST IS A PERSON ENGAGED IN ONE OR MORE
OF ANY OF A BROAD SPECTRUM OF ACTIVITIES
RELATED TO CREATING ART, PRACTICING
THE ARTS, AND/OR DEMONSTRATING AN ART.
