05/08/2024 ARTS EXCHANGE: THE CLOSE LINK WITH DRESDEN

Introduction to an article which was published on the Coventry Association for International Friendship website:

“The Coventry/Dresden Arts Exchange is an artist-led initiative founded in 2012 by John Yeadon from Coventry and his Dresden counterpart Jean Kirsten with the aim of developing dialogue and communication between artists from our two cities.

Since then there have collaborative partnerships, exhibitions, educational projects and forums. The partnership was very much strengthened by the Artists In Residents (AIR) programme, set up in 2017 to enable individual artists to visit a partner city and work there for a month or more. AIR has been supported by Arts Council England and so far, there have been ten residences in Coventry and Dresden.

Here John Yeadon describes his three visits to Dresden this year (2024) including the day he received the Fama Award for Lifetime Achievement, this awarded for artistic achievement and commitment to the partnership over an extended period of time…”
