About TCRP

Situated in southwest of Taipei Basin, Yingge is known as Jingdezhen of Taiwan for its plentiful supply of clay, convenient transportation, and various types of kilns. While its neighbor, Sanshia, has a rich cultural heritage, the town is blessed with enchanting historical ambience.

The Yingge Ceramics Museum was opened in 2000. Since then, the museum has dedicated itself to preserving the town’s cultural legacy while instilling new energy into the area. With such conviction, we decide to encourage ceramic artists, both local and foreign, to come experiencing the life in a pottery town through a one-to-three-month short-term residency program.

Qualifications

The residency program is open to both foreign and domestic artists. Interested applicants must have at least two years of experience in ceramic creation.

Residency Period

Residency program is three months in length and takes place from March to May, July to September and October to December 2015.

Application Deadline

Applications are now being accepted. The application deadline is Sep 30^th  2014(postmarked/domestic applications; received/international applications).

Selection Process

A selection committee composed of relevant experts, scholars, and museum representatives reviews all applicants and decides the final list of 8 candidates (at least 30% of Taiwan artists, holder vacancies shall be maintained). A notice will be mailed to all candidates on Oct 15^th 2014 after final result is confirmed. The short list of candidates will be posted at the same time on the official website (available at http://www.ceramics.ntpc.gov.tw) of the museum.

Every artist should be present at the work space at least 17 days per month during the 3-month residency period.
