Conference Overview

TransCultural Exchange: Where Art and the World Convene.

Once again Boston becomes the nexus of the international art community with TransCultural Exchange’s Conference on International Opportunities in the Art: The Interconnected World. From April 7-10, 2011, artists (of all disciplines and career levels), teachers, residency directors, curators, collectors, arts administrators and critics will converge on the city to attend programs focused on opportunities for artists throughout the world.

The Conference is internationally known as the only forum of its kind for networking, showcasing, supporting and promoting artists. More than 70 representatives from around the world will be on hand to present their programs and provide networking opportunities for artists to interact with their international peers.

The 2011 Conference will be TransCultural Exchange’s largest yet, with an additional day of workshops and sessions, networking events, off-site activities, screenings, talks, tours, international presentations (now integrated into topic-focused panels), expanded portfolio review/mentoring sessions and a new exhibitors’ hall (showcasing the latest products, additional residency programs and opportunities).

Experience Boston’s cultural offerings with tours of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, The Institute of Contemporary Art, MIT’s Art, Culture and Technology Program and the Boston Public Library. Attend events, concerts, readings, exhibits and talks by leading arts researchers at such institutions as MIT, the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, Northeastern University, Boston University and Harvard University.

Enjoy informal interactions with the speakers, moderators, mentors and your fellow attendees during meals, cocktail receptions and a Saturday Night Gala.

And, don’t miss out on additional opportunities to participate as either an artist, writer, academic or cultural institution, exhibitor and/or sponsor.

Past Attendee Reviews
Link to Success Stories

" I came away from the conference with scores of new ideas about what it can look like to be an artist... developing new ideas, and creating new opportunities for collaboration and exhibition. "

" As a former conference producer, I know what it takes to create an event of such complexity and magnitude, and I applaud the excellence with which...[the conference] was conceived, organized, and executed. "

" It was really amazing conference and I'm surprised how did you get all these people from all over the world together. Very IMPRESSIVE! "

" The idea of bringing these artists and minds from many corners of the world to offer of themselves and their organizations ways to share and make this a more enjoyable and livable world was very impressive and has fostered and encouraged my appetite to keep on making and sharing my art. "

" It was highly stimulating to be in contact with so many people from around the US and the world! "

" This is one attendee that enjoyed all of the sessions that I could manage to physically attend."

" My experience of attending the TransCultural Exchange Conference as an artist and art educator was overwhelmingly positive. I received valuable information from attending all lectures by various speakers as well as excellent advice and feedback from each mentoring section. "

" You succeeded in creating 'the' very international meeting of residences with this second issue of "international opportunities for artists!" This is the kind of events I wouldn't like to miss in the future – not only for the panel discussions, but also for the many informal conversations I could have with colleagues, artists and actors of the international art scene. "

The whole schedule can be found on the website of TransCultural Exchange.

There are different portfolio sessions planned, which can be signed in on the web or during the conference.
