Just as the historical caravansarais hosted camel caravans along the Silk Road, we host creative people--with or without camels--from around the globe for collaboration, experimentation, research and exchange.
Our building exists to support things we like: collaborative efforts, workshops, investigation, dinner parties, public and private events, and artist-in-residence programs. It is also home to Anika's circus, Julie's art studio, a nice terrace, and other shared and private living and work spaces. (We do not have exhibitions, nor are we a gallery)
We welcome visual artists, filmmakers, musicians, scientists, circus performers, architects, choreographers, curators, writers, artisans, urban theorists and all manner of creative people.
Caravansarai is an artist-run business adventure, exploring the integration of art and culture into the flow of every-day life. We want Caravansarai to be a vibrant oasis of ideas and energies, which carries the productive hum of the historical bazaar into the contemporary arts practice of the future.
