Morning Asia is a program series by the Heritage Museum of Asian Art that introduces artist residency programs across Asia to Chicago audiences. Through artist talks and online presentations by residency organizations, the series offers insight into how artists live, work, research, and create within international residency settings. Morning Asia fosters cross-cultural exchange, strengthens global artistic networks, and helps lay the groundwork for future artist exchange opportunities between Asia and Chicago.
