Guide for the international mobility of artist and culture professionals in Asia
[Trend] Asia-Europe Foundation’’s
In the spring of 2011, a discussion on promoting the cultural exchanges within Asia was held during the IETM Satellite Meeting, which was held with the Yokohama Performing Arts Meeting ( TPAM ). With rising interest in Asia, along with the ever increasing exchanges within the region, a wide variety of requests and ideas were presented. Yet the discussion ended with a general consensus that an accurate understanding of the actual condition and environment must be reached first. In order to enhance the mobility of the artists, various systems and programs supporting the international exchange in Asia need to be put in place, as well as the establishment of a reliable information system with accessibility to the program.
To accommodate these demands, ASEF ( ASEF ) has requested a research to Culture 360, an Asia-Europe Culture Art Portal and published the

The primary list of institutions and programs was prepared through research, conducted both on and offline, then edited by each Ministry of Culture or Arts Department in respective countries. The omitted institutions or programs were later added onto the list through online surveys. Furthermore, some of the support systems were cross-checked by the corresponding organizations in writing. In particular, the Korea Arts Management Service was entrusted to check the support systems in Korea, as partner organization.
Organizations and programs supporting international cultural exchanges for artists in 18 countries in Asia-Pacific region are listed in the guide.

Upon research, 245 supporting programs from 170 organizations were listed. In terms of countries with the most international cultural exchange support, Australia ranked first with 56 programs from 36 organizations, followed by Japan and Korea.
As per the purpose of the system, the majority fell into the category of support systems focused on the local artists’’ visits abroad or foreign artists’’ local visits, such as Korea’’s donation of culture and art development or the market development support system within Korea Arts Management Service. However, there are also a number of international organizations and private arts foundations’’ programs supporting artists from diverse nationalities, which aim at promoting the regional cultural exchange.
With the exception of Singapore and Hong Kong, most of the programs from South East Asian countries, China, and South Asian countries were depending on foreign support, notably from Europe and the United States. Systems led locally tended to focus on overseas promotion of its art. Support systems in Australia, Japan, and Korea were rather stressing on developing their overseas market abroad for their modern art while the rest of the countries concentrated on introducing their traditional art. On a separate note, international organizations or private art foundations tended to focus on the artists’’ visiting programs and research studies rather than the exchange of art work.
Per genre, visual art received the greatest amount of support, which may be explained by the fact that the number of residence was great, many of which focused on the visual art.
This research was conducted from March to May 2012 and is subject to regular updates, twice a year.
