2°Piano is an independently-operated, artist-in-residency program of Association ZNSproject APS/ETS, a non-profit organization. Our mission is to support the growth of young artists in their research and practice, provide space for experimentation, and to foster the equal and constructive exchange between artists and the public.
ZNSproject is a network of artists, critics, and art theorists. As a branch of ZNSprojec, this residency provides an opportunity for collaboration, discussion, and reflection on contemporary art.
2°Piano Art Residency is operated by artists for artists, as an alternative to government or business-sponsored organizations. This program exists solely to benefit artists and the community. Our goal is to educate and to create open discussion; relying on the mutual trust and respect among our members. Our community is the foundation of 2°Piano.
