Description
Townhouse Residency Project was established in 2000 to provide artists with the opportunity to work in a studio in the context of urban Cairo.
Townhouse is located in a renovated three-storey building in downtown Cairo. Together with an adjoining annex and 600 square meter warehouse space, the gallery holds classrooms, studios, a library and bookshop.
A residency at Townhouse is wholly non-prescriptive, while priority is given to proposals rooted in an interest in the resources, both material and human, that urban Cairo and the surrounds may avail to artists.
Technical Information
The 640 m2 building hosts studios for music, exhibition hall, a library, computer station, classrooms.
Location
Geographic location is central to the operation of Townhouse as a space. Situated at the junction of two lanes in the midst of the auto mechanics district, the gallery is a virtual micro-environment in itself.
Deadline
