2016 - Asian artists sharing culture to French children.

Artist William Gaudinez

The 1996 OCEASIE ART RESIDENCY in Nantes, Cholet, Malakoff and St. Nazaire art residency was designed to present Asian artists to the French audience in both our existing works in a series of group art exhibitions that toured 4 different places during our residency. The residency encouraged us Asian artists to share our culture to French children and encouraged them to create their own works based on their own interpretation about certain aspects that make our Filipino culture unique and different.

The 2016 GRAND BAZ ART Le Festival International D'Art Marginal ( International Festival of Marginal Art) in Gisors was a totally different unique experience in its own as it also paved open the doors for international artists to be included in their prestigious international art festival. It presented the works that were not picture pretty but showcased works that advocate concern in the human condition, culture and prevailing situations that directly affected our daily lives .
