icci art valley programme
The 2026 ICCI ART VALLEY PROGRAM – International Visiting Scholars Activities invites artists and scholars from around the world to engage in an innovative residency that explores artistic practice across multiple dimensions.
Through residency-based creation, participants will embark on a cross-media, cross-cultural, and cross-spatial exploration of contemporary art. At a time when technologies such as artificial intelligence and spatial computing are reshaping artistic expression, the program focuses on three key directions:
Art and Technology – exploring new creative boundaries through the interaction between digital and material forms;
Humanistic Dialogue – fostering cross-cultural understanding through artistic exchange;
Urban Engagement – responding to themes of urban transformation while strengthening the connection between people and the city.
ICCI is now publicly recruiting 5–6 international visiting artists or scholars to participate in the 2026 ICCI ART VALLEY PROGRAM. The residency will take place from November 1 to December 15, 2026.
Selected participants will present the outcomes of their residency through exhibitions held in art venues across Shanghai, online virtual exhibition spaces, or cultural landmarks such as the Shanghai Jiao Tong University History Museum.
