What is TransCultural Exchange?

Hailed as “one of the best things in the art world today,” by the renowned artist and founder of the London Biennale David Medella, TransCultural Exchange’s Conferences are the only of their kind, and have since become the organization’s chief activity. These Conferences bring together hundreds of international artists, residency directors, teachers, administrators, biennale organizers, cultural attachés, high level critics, curators and grant makers to network, share best practices and learn of new trends and developments. They include artist showcases, panels, round table discussions, receptions, workshops and portfolio reviews. For many young artists, the Conferences are the missing link between academia and a real world art practice. For more established artists, they are an essential forum for networking with their peers around the globe.
