Destination: Shanghai, China
Shanghai, or as the locals call it, ‘Hu’, is with a population of 24,2 million people enormous by all standards. Just for comparison, New York City will account for about 8,5 million. Situated by the Yangtze River, the city serves as the most influential economic and financial hub in East China, with extensive international trade and a rich cultural heritage. The city has a long history in silk, textiles and embroidery, dating back to the end of the Ming dynasty in 1664.

ART AND TRAVEL

The Jaunt is the combination of the two best things in life: art and travel. We send contemporary artists on trips to create new experiences in a different environment. Because nothing is more inspiring than stepping out of your comfort zone.

SIGHT UNSEEN

With newly found inspiration and impressions from their trip, the artists create an artwork which we produce as a limited edition silkscreen print. You have the chance to pre-order the prints at sight unseen, before the artists go on their trip.

PRE-ORDER

Take part in the inspiration process of our artists, and pre-order a print. Support the artists on their trip and receive updates through their travel diary. Once the artwork is finished you will receive your new artwork at home.
