ARTIST EXCHANGEDifferent places. Shared possibilities. Connecting visual artists and communities through international collaboration and cultural exchange.
EXPLORE THE SPECTRUM ARTIST CALL ↗LanTive Artist Exchange brings artists into conversation across cultures, with a shared belief in the power of art to connect people.
Our developing exchange connects collaborators in the United States, Zambia and Russia. We are building opportunities for visual artists to share their practices, learn from one another and contribute to meaningful community experiences.
The U.S. effort is led by Charlotte Shinabarger, a Flint native, international muralist and community advocate, serving as U.S. Director and Representative, LanTive Artist Exchange.
SPECTRUM is the exchange pilot currently in development. Flint, Michigan is proposed as one of the first locations to debut the program. Launches in participating locations may take place at the same time.
Proposed activities include artist collaboration, opportunities to share creative practices and community art programming. The final format will develop with participating artists and host partners.
