TRANSCULTURAL EXCHANGE TV – TCE TV
SEASON 2
Not all of us may be able to travel. We can, though, see a movie, go to an exhibit, or read a book. Art can inspire and help us to understand the wonders of our planet and those who share it with us. To help make that possible, TransCultural Exchange exists. In the more than three decades of our existence, we have produced hundreds of global art projects, artist exchanges, web resources and a biennale International Conference on Opportunities in the Arts. And, now, we continue with . . .
TCE TV.
Each month we continue to travel around the globe, highlighting opportunities, residencies and resources for artists in Boston and abroad. Tune in to Boston Neighborhood Network Media the first Wednesday of every month at 7:00 pm and, thereafter, always here.
Aside from our website and our producer’s Boston Neighborhood Network Media, TransCultural Exchange is happy to let artists know that TCE-TV is also now available for viewing on the following:
Currently reaching over 749,700 households and counting.
With that level of viewership, we know we are serving a clear need. Please help us ensure that all artists everywhere have access to this valuable resource by making a donation or by becoming a TCE-TV underwriter. Contact Mary Sherman for more information at msherman[@] transculturalexchange.org. Also, if you have an idea for a guest or a show, please let us know. We look forward to hearing from you.
SEASON 2, EPISODE 4, Avenues for Daring, Part 4
In this episode, TCE TV’s host Jeelan Billal-Gore closes out our four-part series featuring guests who will be presenting their programs for artists at TransCultural Exchange’s 2025 International Conference on Opportunities in the Arts. She speaks with them about what they and their organizations can offer artists, including residencies here and abroad, and help with the business side of their practice. Then, closing out the show, she talks with arts leaders about a theme dear to our hearts, the role of arts in their creation of cultural understanding – a perfect match for our March Conference’s theme, Avenues of Daring.

SEASON 2, EPISODE 1, Avenues for Daring, Part 1
Welcome to Season 2 of TCE TV. In this and the next four episodes, TCE TV host Jeelan Bilal-Gore will pick up the pace, featuring nearly triple the show’s usual number of guests. All these people will also be available for you to meet – in person – at TransCultural Exchange’s 2025 International Conference on Opportunities in the Arts, from March 7th to the 9th. Entitled Avenues for Daring, this Conference is a rare face-to-face opportunity for artists to connect with our show’s host and guests, along with additional speakers from down the block, across the nation and around the world during talks, workshops, portfolio reviews, roundtable discussions, networking events and more. Everyone is welcome! However, if you can’t make it, as always, we’ve listed our guests’ websites below for you to further research on your own. Tonight, Jeelan begins by talking with some of the Conference speakers who run artists-in-residency programs. As many artists have discovered, attending a residency not only provided them with the time, means and inspiration to do their work, but it literally changed their lives.
