About Opportunity

The internationally recognized organization Artlink, in partnership with Mekong Cultural Hub, is now accepting applications for its 2025 program, “Learning Labs: Designing Training on Digital Skills in Art Management.” This initiative invites international artists working across various art forms to participate. Learning Labs aims to foster the professional growth of young, creative practitioners by addressing skill gaps and building strong networks. Participants will be tasked with designing a training program to help creative practitioners in the Mekong Region effectively use accessible technologies to overcome challenges in arts administration.

About Organizer

Artlink was established in 1984, since then it was dedicated to promote the work and performances of artists and cultural practitioners from Africa, Latin America, Asia, and Eastern Europe in Switzerland. By facilitating their integration into the Swiss cultural scene, Artlink creates opportunities and highlights the talents of these artists and practitioners within the country.

Mekong Cultural Hub (MCH) is an independent, non-profit, non-governmental organization dedicated to empowering diverse cultural practitioners to realize their visions. By offering training programs, fellowships, exchanges, and the Meeting Point on Art & Social Action in Asia, MCH fosters connections among cultural and social practitioners, broadens perspectives through the exchange of local knowledge and experiences, and facilitates friendships and collaborations.
