The St. Louis Artists' Guild is taking the lead in a collaboration between the Artists' Guild, the Indonesian Consulate General in Chicago and the Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia in Washington, D.C., and ArtDimensions, to initiate an Indonesian study-abroad program for artists. The trip to Indonesia will be for a seventeen-day period in November 2010.

While in Indonesia, these artists will immerse themselves in the country's rich culture to create work inspired by Indonesian art and design, culminating in an art exhibition in one of Jakarta's top galleries. This cultural exchange will be a valuable opportunity for both countries to learn more about each other's arts and culture, and to strengthen international bonds.

The St. Louis Artists' Guild will be sending a delegation of artists representing the artistic richness and diversity of the St. Louis region. St. Louis artists participating in the 2010 study abroad program include: Alicia LaChance, Robert Longyear, Gina Alvarez, Amanda Verbeck, Myles Keough, Jeremy Rabus, Sophia Dalpiaz-Brown, Timothy Wagner, and Davide Weaver.

The average cost for each person's travel expenses will be about $2,500
