Program Description:
AIR Taipei has two residency locations, Taipei Artist Village (TAV) and Treasure Hill Artist Village (THAV).
Taipei Artist Village is a four-story building located in the heart of Taiwan's vibrant Governmental District in Taipei City. Secluded within a tranquil garden, this renovated public office building that once belonged to the Taipei City Department of Public Maintenance and Construction is breathing new life into bustling downtown Taipei. Since the establishment of TAV, the Taipei City Department of Cultural Affairs has actively launched the artist-in-residence program as well as artist exchange programs with other international artist residency centers in different cities across the globe.
Located along the Xindian River in Taipei City, Treasure Hill Artist Village was listed in 2004 as the first “historical architectural community” by the Taipei City Department of Cultural Affairs. The unique location of Treasure Hill with its narrow alleys and stairways snaking across the hillside gives THAV the feeling of a rural village. Over the years, various groups settled on the hillside with their own lifestyles and needs, creating a tribal-like organic scene. Joining together with the original residents, the city’s policy of preservation and revitalization, the Artist-in-Residence program and the Traveler’s Hostel all aim to achieve a spirit of “symbiosis” to create a better future for the entire community.
