Gallery with Residency programme

OneArt is committed to create a prestigious residency programme for non-Euroamerican artists who will actively contribute to the curatorial programme of the OneArt gallery and who will produce art work which will be related to the current theme of the gallery project, such as Identity, Sacrifice or Art on Periphery. The gallery programme aims to connect activities of the artists in residency with the local artistic scene and by doing so to create an opportunity for a productive artistic dialogue. ...read more

OneArt project is using the online Internet journal OneArt – Journal of Contemporary Asian, African and Latin American Art and Humanities as a supporting information medium. The journal’s themes are identical with the themes of the gallery curatorial programme, thus the content of the journal includes article and artists’ presentations.
