2015 CEC ARTSLINK RESIDENCY
HOSTED BY THE FINE ARTS WORK CENTER
,. ,
The Work Center is delighted to welcome and host 2015 CEC ArtsLink Fellow MAŁGORZATA ROZANSKA-BRANIECKA. ArtsLink
Residencies offers artists and arts managers from 37 overseas countries five-week residencies at non-profit arts organizations
throughout the US. The program enables artists and communities across the US to share artistic practices with artists and
arts managers from abroad and engage in dialogue that advances understanding across cultures.
During their residencies, ArtsLink Fellows have opportunities to develop community-based projects, present new art and
issues from their regions and initiate collaborative projects with US artists. The artists will share their experiences, the people,
exhibitions, community events and new work created during their residencies on this blog.
MEET “GOSIA”
As an arts manager since 2008, Rózanska-Braniecka has coordinated
international literary activities at Villa Decius Association in Krakow,
including three residency programs for writers and translators. In addition
to curating over 50 literary events, she has organized residencies for
approximately 90 writers, translators and artists from over 20 countries. In
the future, Rózanska-Braniecka hopes to broaden the scope of Villa Decius
residency programs by inviting American writers and by establishing
partnerships with US organizations to host Polish writers. She is also eager
to enhance her understanding of all aspects of project development and
implementation including fundraising, working with partner organizations
and evaluation.
