Please join us at this occasion to find out about China Residencies ? a newly created 501 (c) 3 organization whose mission is to provide an online directory of artist residencies in China. There are over 30 unique residency programs in China that are under-publicized and thousands of artists who are unaware about these existing opportunities. Co-Founder Kira Simon-Kennedy will give an overview and useful tips on how to navigate? in China as an artist today . China Residencies is conceived as a treasure-trove of information that touches on everything from funding opportunities and visa application guidelines to where to find art materials locally and what basic vocabulary to learn before arriving. Artists will be able to leave testimonials and share their experience, helping future applicants decide which residency is best suited to their practice.
Kira Simon-Kennedy is China Artist Residencies? Program Manager, as well as a freelance photographer, filmmaker and Mandarin and French translator specializing in the arts. Previously, Miss Simon-Kennedy help found Caoker, bilingual web startup aiming to promote Chinese artists and musicians abroad and international artists within China. As head of production and marketing manager at Caoker, Kira produced videos and interviews with over fifty artists in China?s burgeoning indie scene.
Miss Simon-Kennedy grew up in Paris then went on to earn a B.A. in East Asian Languages and Civilizations at the University of Pennsylvania, while minoring in Fine Arts and Photography. During her undergraduate years, Miss Simon-Kennedy was a curatorial intern at the Philadelphia Art Museum, then interned under Crystal Ruth Bell at Red Gate Gallery and Residencies in 2009. She returned that summer to assist Nancy Murphy with her China Art Law practice, and has lived between China, France and the US for the past five years.
