Who can attend?

• CIAC is open to all art-loving, cultural-minded people across the globe. It invites artists in a broad sense from visual or conventional art media to the multidisciplinary periphery (poets, writers, journalists, singers or musicians, filmmakers and so on).
• Even though there is no age limitation to becoming a CIAC participant, young artists will be given priority.
• The CIAC targets adventurous and enthusiastic persons who can accept challenges to comfortable living. People accustomed to luxurious suites and feasts are firmly discouraged from joining the CIAC. The camp is held in a rural setting where the food, accommodation and day-to-day experience are enjoyed by sharing common resources with fellow artists and community people.
