The Center for International Art in Community (CIAC) is a pilot artist
residency and community center in Central Brooklyn, which serves as
the administrative office for freeDimensional's international network
of artist residency initiatives. Located at the Magnolia Tree Earth
Center, it partners with its gallery to introduce the local community
to international artists
in residence. CIAC provides artists, activists, and citizen journalists
with residential and/or studio space for two to four-month periods;
creates interaction with community youth through our Syndicate 19
program; and organizes programs with city-wide outlets that enable
both artists and youth to promote their work and discuss their experiences,
fostering awareness of human rights issues in the community.
