The mission of Taoxichuan Art Center is to provide a platform for artists to work at the well-supportive studio environment and explore a thousand-year history of porcelain in Jingdezhen.
For the past 5 years, over 100 artists coming from 30 countries took part in our artist-in-residence. We held more than 50 solo and group exhibitions, 30 workshops, 5 Spring and Autumn Art Fairs, and 2 Ceramic Film Weeks.
In 2021 and 2022, Taoxichuan Art Centre will continuously enrich our existing artist-in-residence program by adding 2 new locations in two of the famous Celadon historical kiln sites. One is in Longquan, Zhejiang Province. The other one is in Tongchuan, Yaozhou Kiln, outside of Xian in Shanxi Province.
We expand and designate the goal of the artist-in-residence program in four categories.
1. create and exhibit
2. masterclass teaching and research
3. design prototype for a line of industrial production
work
4. film production about ceramic art, design, craft, culture and history.
