In 2007 MaK selected four highly committed young artists to lead Art in the Park managing art installed in the Manchester Peace Park, Kosova. Their experience includes post graduate courses, international artists’ residencies, ceramics, painting, sculpture, bronze foundry work and curating. MaK partners, Eden Project, Castle Fine Arts Foundry and Yorkshire Sculpture Park have all provided invaluable residencies and training for the the directors who, working with the local community, hope to create a centre of artistic excellence in Kosovo.
