We are delighted to announce that the Ocean Virtual Art Residency has been endorsed as an activity by UNESCO’s UN Ocean Decade. Being an endorsed activity brings increased visibility, including the Ocean Decade Network, and the chance to contribute to a global, collaborative effort aimed at achieving a healthy and sustainable ocean.

This collaborative program empowers participating artists to embark on the journey of developing a new project aligned with the residency’s thematic focus: OCEAN

Residency Format

There will be 5 virtual meetings among all the international participating artists under the guidance of a member of a Moku Art Studio and/or MANGO team. These sessions are dedicated to the inception and refinement of your artist project. Each meeting will feature suggested prompts designed to foster introspection and illuminate connections between artists’ projects. You can view OVAR 2024 here. 

Residency Expectations

Throughout the program, artists engage in the creation of an artistic project that resonates with the residency’s theme, yielding tangible outcomes. Their projects delve into the multifaceted theme of OCEAN through diverse avenues, encompassing technical, conceptual, reflective, and experiential explorations.

Upon the culmination of the virtual residency, we host a Virtual Open Studio and Exhibition Inauguration. During this event, artists virtually unveil their workspaces, showcasing their creations and engaging with virtual visitors who may inquire about the art and the artist behind it.
