Common Ground

About

Common Ground offers a flexible, self-directed artist residency named Six Stone Arts Space located in New Taipei City, Taiwan. This residency is open to artists from all disciplines and focuses on research, practice, and experimentation without the need for a predefined project or idea. Artists are encouraged to explore new experiences, collaborate spontaneously, and engage with a diverse community of creatives and the residency team. The residency does not specify a minimum stay, though a one-month stay is recommended to fully benefit from the facilities and community. The environment is designed to support artists in starting new ventures or deepening existing practices, with resources including local travel support, workspaces, internet access, dramaturgical support, and technical assistance. Common Ground is inclusive and non-competitive, aiming to create a global network of artists. The program fee is approximately $400 USD per month, with subsidies available for self-funded artists facing financial difficulties. This fee includes accommodation, local travel, and certain professional services, with artists responsible for their food, travel, and material costs.
