Art Residency Program 

workshop

We warmly welcome contemporary jewellery artists and designers to apply to our Art Residency Program. This interdisciplinary and intercultural program encourages people coming from different backgrounds to work in our Jewellery Studio. Every year we would like to invite one jewellery artist to AIVA starting from this July to December.

The resident will have some of your time teaching our foundation classes to have tutorials with our students or deliver workshops and lectures. We also offer the opportunity to join our other skill workshops or master classes conducted by other invited jewellery artists in the studio. AIVA will also strongly provide you with different platforms for personal promotion activities, such as local museums and art galleries in Shanghai or having lectures in other colleges etc.  

We believe this new environment and culture will bring plenty of inspiration to you and it will be a great chance to develop your personal work from a new perspective. During or at the end of your journey at AIVA, will have the opportunity to hold a solo exhibition in our gallery space.
