A flagship initiative providing space, time, and community for artistic experimentation in the heart of North Bengal
The Short-lived Artist Residency is Big I Art Foundation's commitment to fostering creative excellence in Siliguri and the greater North Bengal region. We provide contemporary practitioners with the sanctuary needed to explore complex ideas, collaborate with the local community, and showcase their creative processes.
Through this program, we aim to bridge the gap between traditional techniques and modern conceptual frameworks, creating a dialogue that enriches both the artists and the community. Each residency culminates in exhibitions, talks, and community engagement activities that bring art closer to everyday life.
