Global Arts Village Fellowship
A wholistic international artist residency in India.

 

Fellowship Announcement 2006 Global Arts Village is an emerging international residential art center in New Delhi, India, which encourages diversity and multicultural exchange among creative people of all kinds.

The Global Arts Village is a three-acre property that includes gardens, a multi-purpose studio, sculpture workshop, a meditation and performance hall, a common building, a dance studio, performance spaces and accommodations.

Meals Meals are eaten together, in a common dining room or, if weather permits, outside among the gardens. We celebrate eating and great care is taken to serve delicious, well-balanced, nutritious foods. We are vegetarian at the Village, though we do consume dairy products and eggs. The food is mostly Indian, but occasionally Continental, Chinese, Italian and Mexican meals are served. India is a country with a rich tradition in vegetarianism, so the cuisine is extremely varied. We source organic vegetables, pulses, grains and oils as often as possible. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, there is no deadline. The application can be submitted via email or post.
