The Paths Crossing project unites the forces of five North European artist-in-residence centres to invite twenty young and emerging visual artists and art professionals from new and applicant EU Member States.
This project of residencies and cooperation is co-funded by the European Union’s Culture Programme for the years 2011–2012. Coordinated by HIAP – Helsinki International Artist Programme (FI), the project includes the participation of the Baltic Art Center, Visby (SE), Fabrikken for Kunst og Design, Copenhagen (DK), Temple Bar Gallery + Studios, Dublin (IE) and Nordisk Kunstnarsenter Dalsåsen (NO).
The central purpose of this collective endeavour is to discover and support new talent, providing international mobility to visual artists and art professionals from Eastern and Central Europe. New networks of cooperation with the participating countries will be built. Together the five artist-in-residency centres are able to provide for twenty individual production and research residencies, each from one to six months in duration.
