Three ways to welcome an artist
Create an artist residency or creative stay that fits your space and resources. Choose a self-funded, funded, or exchange arrangement and set the terms yourself.
Self-funded
Set a clear fee for accommodation, workspace, a programme, or other support. Artists see the price and what is included before they contact you.
Funded
Cover the artist's costs, offer a stipend, or provide another form of funded support. State clearly what is covered and who is eligible.
Exchange
Offer accommodation, workspace, meals, or other support in return for agreed creative or practical work from the artist. Describe both sides of the exchange clearly.

Different spaces can host artists
Studios, farms, galleries, retreats, guesthouses, community spaces, and private homes can all give an artist a meaningful place to stay or create.
No formal programme required
You do not need to run an established residency. Start with the space and support you can genuinely offer, then shape an arrangement that works for you.
You choose who comes
Browse portfolios, read bios, and only accept artists whose style and project fit your space.
Free to join
No listing fees, no commission. No commitment either — cancel or decline anytime.
Flexible arrangements
Choose a self-funded, funded, or exchange stay — you set the terms and structure.
Guests with purpose
Artists come to create, not just consume. They enrich your space and connect with your community.
How Artaway works
List your space
Describe the space, what you offer, and the kind of artist you're hoping to attract. Takes a few minutes and it's free.
Review applications
Read profiles and portfolios, message candidates before deciding, accept or decline. Everything in your dashboard.
Welcome the artist
Once you accept an artist, you work out the details directly. We stay out of the way — no commission on whatever you agree.
Run workshops in your space
Alongside creative stays, you can publish a one-day class, a weekend intensive, or a longer taught programme. You decide how the workshop works and manage every request directly.
Create a workshopChoose the format
Offer a single session or a multi-day programme in any creative discipline that suits your space and experience.
Set clear practical details
Add the dates, capacity, price, materials, skill level, and whether accommodation or meals are included.
Review each request
Artists can read the full programme, message you with questions, and request a place through Artaway.
“The spaces we create in shape the work we make — every residency I've done has opened unexpected doors. Artaway gets that. It's a simple, human way to connect artists with the places and people that inspire them.”
We're building a platform where art and hospitality go hand in hand. As we grow, we plan to reinvest back into the community through artist grants and studio support.
