RIYADH: The Visual Arts Commission has collaborated with the Fashion Commission and made an open call for the second Intermix Residency Program, set to run from Oct. 22, 2023 until Jan. 4, 2024.

Held in JAX District in Diriyah, the program, “Art and Fashion Reimagined,” will support 15 selected artists from diverse backgrounds who will undergo 10 weeks of training.

The residency is a funded program that provides emerging and mid-experienced Saudi and international visual artists, fashion designers and curators with full access to their own private studios and accommodation and a platform to collaborate and broaden their artistic horizons.

In addition to studio work, the program will offer weekly workshops, training and an opportunity to display their work during the Open Studio event, held for two days at the end of each cycle.

Art and Fashion Reimagined aims to support and celebrate the development of a common creative visual language by highlighting the expressive potential of visual arts, fashion design and curation.

Applicants will be evaluated and short-listed by a panel of visual arts and fashion experts before the final selection.
