targeted at emerging to mid career artists in all fields; encouraging contemporary
work in painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, video, performance and sound.
This workshop is part of the *Triangle Arts Network of workshops currently active in
20 countries. The workshop will bring together 25 international artists practicing in a
wide variety of media, to work among each other, and share ideas and methods for
a period of two weeks in the serene town mountain of Birzeit. At the end of the two
weeks, the workshop will host an Open Day which will invite in the local public, artists,
and critics to celebrate the developments and results of the workshop.
The workshop will provide the selected artist with full lodging and food, working
