In Beijing’s ancient, winding streets,
Where tradition meets innovative beats,
A hub of artistry, vibrant and bright,
Awaits the creatives, day and night.
Imagine yourself, amidst the throng,
Of artists, thinkers, and dreamers strong,
In a residency, where ideas unfold,
And inspiration flows, like the Yangtze’s gold.
The Forbidden City’s grandeur, a sight to see,
The Temple of Heaven’s harmony, a symphony,
The Great Wall’s majestic, serpentine might,
Will stir your imagination, and spark your light.
In Beijing’s art districts, 798 and Caochangdi too,
You’ll find a community, that’s innovative, and true,
Galleries, studios, and museums, a treasure to explore,
And a chance to showcase, your art, and more.
The residency, a haven, where you can create,
Experiment, and push boundaries, don’t hesitate,
To try new mediums, and techniques, and collaborate,
With fellow artists, from diverse backgrounds, and participate.
In this cultural melting pot, you’ll find your voice,
And a chance to make a mark, and leave a choice,
To inspire, to provoke, and to make a statement bold,
In the city, where tradition meets, the avant-garde, and the bold.
So come to Beijing, and let your art shine,
In this residency, where creativity knows no decline,
You’ll find a home, where your imagination can roam,
And your art, will flourish, in this vibrant, and inspiring dome.
