As a member of the Alliance, I’m regularly reminded of the passion and idealism motivating the members. There is a wealth of insight to be gained by paying attention to the great diversity of programs organized to achieve this end. The enthusiasm generated by this network is greater than the sum of its parts—it is a profound experience to get together with others who take it for granted that creative artists should be honored and supported in their work while they’re alive.

Beijing, ChinaRed Gate Residency
Beijing, ChinaOur vision for Red Gate Residency is to provide an environment for artists, curators, writers, and academics to easily start their projects and offer a community in which they can participate as much as they like.
As active members of ResArtis and the Alliance of Artist Communities, top worldwide networks of artist-residencies and residential art centers, we are committed to the promotion of multicultural art dialogue within an immersion setting.
The length of stay ranges from 1 month to 6 months (We prefer to take bookings by the full month). Applications are received on a rolling basis and reviewed by a selection committee at the end of each month. Although at times we may have last minute space available, our facilities commonly fill six months in advance so we encourage an early application.
