Together Apart | Cohort # 2 | English
A temporary shelter for artistic practices

This ARTshelter offers its participants with a time and a (mind) space to overpower the adversities that the artistic community is facing today, delivering tools and resources both individual and collective.

[During August/September 2020 we have developed the Cohort # 1 with a strong group of participants from North and South America; Europe; Middle East and Australia, is going on with campers whose expertise embrace a wide range of artistic practices and disciplines: fine arts (including drawing, printmaking, painting and sculpture); installation; photography; video and sound; fashion and textile design; graphic design; performance; dance and choreography as well as philosophy of art, communication and writing. Due to the great success of  COHORT #1, we are happy to launch the Cohort #2.]

Together apart… we are stronger!

This ARTshelter is aimed at artists, curators and researchers who, in these pandemic times, are:
– Looking forward to take advantage of a time “in between” to build knowledge, acquire new tools and establish an international network of professional colleagues.
– Having difficulties to advance with their artistic production due to isolation, lockdown or a lack of contact with the artistic community
– Looking for new ways to approach their practice and adapt to the new times that we’re all going through on a global scale
– Struggling to find the necessary motivation that drives their projects forward

This ARTbootcamp will help participants in their need to:
– Overcome the initial halt in their practice and gain productive momentum.
– Join forces with peers and work with others –whether it is collaboratively or individually by mutual feedback–, which will contribute to enhance individual resources in order to beat the current limitations.
– Make the most out of the transition between studio practice and online creative and productive formats.
– Gain access to a new, international and specialized public.
– Build an international network with colleagues, which can then flourish in future projects to broaden their reach and possibilities.

At the end of this ARTshelter, participants will get:
– GUIDANCE | An individual session for feedback on your work, your performance during the Bootcamp and future steps for your career with ´ace‘s director and members of the team
– ADVISE | On international programs, art spaces, residencies and open calls that are suited to your profile
– TECHNICAL SKILLS | On art techniques and digital tools that will help you enhance your practice and its outcome
– VISIBILITY | A professional profile in ´ace‘s website with your information and the details of the work produced during the Bootcamp
– NEW BODY OF WORK | Produced individual or collaboratively during the Bootcamp
– NETWORK | A community of artists bonded by common goals, which will keep working in the future

To participate in this ARTbootcamp you will need
Internet connection | Zoom or Google Meet | Google Suite for share docs | Available materials, equipment and tools at home
