Crossing Bridges

Crossing Bridges Crossing Bridges connects the Americas through the arts through artist residencies, creative tourism and art promotion. A NEW HYBRID MODEL.

Crossing Bridges has been birthing since former modern dancer Founder/Director Jan Hanvik began working on border-crossing arts projects between Mexico and New York around 1980. The work expanded to include Haiti, Puerto Rico, Argentina, Uruguay, Bolivia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Japan, Russia, and elsewhere. Crossing Bridges covers all art forms, is centered in Manhattan and in Pátzcuaro,

Michoacán, Mexico, and has a special interest in indigenous arts, AfroMexican arts, LGBTQIA+ artists. senior artists, artists with dsabilities, female artists. As guided by our indigenous P'urhépecha colleagues, no "bad people" are allowed to participate in our projects. An LLC was ultimately created in 2016 to house Crossing Bridges' activities, as well as the nonprofit organization Puentes y Redes S.C. (Bridges & Networks CIvil Society) in Mexico in 2019. ARTIST RESIDENCIES

Crossing Bridges & Puentes y Redes, with the indigenous P'urhépecha people of Parangaricutiro, Michoacán, Mexico is adapting the Pantzingo Ecotourism Center into an international artist residency for artists and college, university, and conservatory artists and arts programs of alll disciplines. CB/PyR is affiliated with the 500-member Alliance of Artists Communities. CREATIVE TOURISM

An increasing number of travel companies offer cultural tourism. However, almost none are focused on creative tourism, in which the arts or creative tourists embed themselves in the surrounding cultural milieu in an authentic, sustainable and respectful fashion. There is a lack of definition in the field, allowing Crossing Bridges to help define the field. ART PROMOTION

Sharing the knowledge acquired in arts management after all those years of expertise is other of the goals that shapes Crossing Bridges. Providing art management workshops, curating visual and performing art events and representing artists are some of the other services offered. Information Coming Soon.
