Bring your craft. Bring your family. Leave with a second home.
A cultural residency for people whose work can open a room — and keep opening doors long after the visit.

Limited fellowship places welcome university professors, performing artists, writers, cultural leaders, and athletes — especially athletes. The fellow and accompanying immediate family receive covered accommodation and in-Fujian program costs for the residency period, arranged through partner institutions and confirmed in writing before travel.
A lecture, seminar, school visit, public talk, or faculty workshop with a Fujian host — in your field, on your terms.
A performance, reading, masterclass, studio workshop, or creative exchange. Artists may also explore local presenters, partners, and future China opportunities.
A training-camp exchange with a sports school or university, youth coaching clinic, exhibition match, or friendly competition.
Fellows contribute their craft; Fujian contributes its own — tea masters, musicians, makers, and hosts who have spent lifetimes on their disciplines.
Every residency opens with grounding — the region's history, the Fujian × West connections, and the people you'll meet.
One substantive contribution — a lecture, a performance, a clinic — shaped with your host, not staged for cameras.
Fellows leave with relationships, collaborators, and — where there's appetite — future China opportunities in their field.
