RESIDENCIES AND RETREATS
Caribbean artists often talk about their African heritage. But not many have actually been to Africa. El-status.com invites you to go to Nakuru, Kenya and meet with local and other African artists, learn from them and let them learn from you. The residency program is drafted and and we now hope to get your feedback so we can decide if we should launch the program later this year... (get the details).
Unfortunately there are not many residency programs in Puerto Rico. But ÁREA in Caguas has an interesting one for participants and visitors alike (visit website).
Starting July 19, 2009 the artist/art teacher Meme Ferré is offering an artist retreat program in her marvelous Adjuntas house (flyer, pdf).
And of course el-status.com's own El Status Studio can be used for residencies or retreats in San Juan. Plan your stay...
