The artist is action. The action is living. The living is work. The work is art. The art is fun.
Hello Collective has run a vibrant and productive summer residency in rural Poland summer 2011 & 2012. The Hello Collective is an artist led collective that aims to engage in creative dialogue & collaboration between international artists. We were formed in 2010. To see work from last years residency please go to our blog or read a review of last years summer studio here.
Hello Collective ran a Summer Studio residency for the past two yaers. We lived, ate and worked together in the picturesque town of Cieplice, in Western Poland. Set in a plateau, surrounded by mountains the residency gives an opportunity for artists to spend concentrated time working, exploring, talking and learning; whether you choose to spend your time in the studio, the garden or more further afield exploring the countryside and mountains.
We invite applications from every area of the visual arts. Above all this residency is about communication, sharing and the desire to develop, to learn, and to be open and honest. Artists live and work together with the host artists in a simple, rustic and friendly environment.
The residency is the perfect opportunity for any artist looking for a new environment, a change of scene, the time and space to focus on a body of work, and those looking for close contact, conversation and critique.
