Artist Residencies with Grace Han

  • Thursday, November 14, 2019
  • 7:00pm – 9:00pm
  • MAWA, 611 Main Street

Presented in partnership with Creative Manitoba

Artist residencies offer the opportunity for exchange, focussed work and relationship building with international peers in an informal manner that is unique. This workshop provides information on different residency models. How do you figure out if a particular residency is right for you? What questions should you ask a residency centre? How should you structure your time while you are there? Grace Han will offer tips on applying for residencies and securing arts council funding to help make them happen.

$10 for members of MAWA or Creative Manitoba; $20 for non-members. No need to register, just show up! People of all genders welcome!

  • Grace Han is a ceramic artist originally trained in Seoul, South Korea. She earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Dankook University, specializing in traditional Korean ceramic techniques and skills. After immigrating to Canada, she experienced significant struggles, confusion, and a sense of being lost as a newcomer. All these challenges have served as fuel for her creative work with clay, expressed through her installations and performances. She teaches at the University of Manitoba’s School of Art.
