Lighton International Artists Exchange Program (LIAEP)

LIAEP’s goal is to encourage and reward dedicated artists with the unique opportunities afforded by travel for the exchange of ideas and expertise between peers.

The program seeks applications from dedicated artists who create work of exceptional quality and whose work and career is at a level to benefit from international exchange with peers. The program is especially interested in funding mid-career artists who have not yet worked in a foreign country and in funding travel and residencies to countries that are less Westernized.
