[ISEA2014] Introduction: Thejamjar gallery

Introductory Statement

Thejamjar’s gallery has evolved into a contemporary project space responding to the needs of the local artistic community by fostering creative talent through an artist residency programme and accompanying public programme. Through an artist residency programme UAE based artists are given the opportunity to realise a new body of work through research, experimentation, and dialogue. An accompanying public programme allows for interaction and dialogue through workshops, talks and open days allowing audiences to understand and respond, feeding into the artistic practice.
