The opportunity exists for artists from all around the globe, across all mediums & practices, to take a position on the Creative Gathering Artist Residency Project while expiriencing the beauty and energy of the Andes Mountain Range in the town of Bochalema, Colombia, South America 

Eden-Bochalema Creative Gathering Project 2014 aims to provide a time for reflection and creation for artists-in-residence in a unique environment providing the opportunity for the development of individual creative projects, the chance to experiment with new concepts & materials or to conduct research or fieldwork studies in response to the new surroundings, new perspective and new context. 

This project has been carefully planned to give the artists the best opportunity to immerse themselves in the amazing surroundings, meet new creative people and to facilitate the engagement and integration of the new environment. In the same way, it foresees the creative gathering will inspire diverse contemporary artistic creations amongst the residence group and the local community. 

The planning of this initiative has taken into consideration both the project aims and the logistics of group travel and the collaboration of desired outcomes. These variables have been directly translated into the program of the 2014 Creative Gathering activities, events, field trips, venue, location, workshops, guest speakers, presentations, special events & group exhibition. 

Our intentions of an open call to the project are to build an interesting diverse cross-section of artists’ spaning a variety of artistic disciplines. 

Logistics and program design have been pivotal components in the planning of this tailor-made progressive free-spirited exchange project, which ultimately aims to allow the residence group to gain new experiences and reach true artistic realities. 

This Creative Gathering Project looks toward the myriad of exciting possibilities to be created by the artists-in-residence through the exploration of innovative ideas, the intervention in the city and the neighbouring communities. 

To get the most out of this residency you as an artist and as a human being should be open to the notion of being entirely immersed in the wonderment of this journey, surrendering to new experiences and solid connections. 

This project has been established to invite artists and all manner of creative people for a unique time for reflection and creation in a distinctive environment providing the opportunity for the development of individual creative projects, the chance to experiment with new concepts & materials or to conduct research or fieldwork studies in response to the new surroundings, new perspective and new context, as well as discovering and visiting some of the best sightseeing locations in the country! 

This residency project aims to emphasize the importance of meaningful and multi-layered cultural exchange and immersion into another culture. 

The selected artists will be chosen based on imaginativeness, inventiveness and creativeness of the proposed application. 

The creative gathering residency is a non-for profit project created by artists for artists. 

This project seeks to generate a cultural epicenter in Bochalema where tradition and contemporary art complement each other. 

Come and immerse yourself in the wonderment of this exploration.
