How it works

Exchange
art for
experiences

A simple way to connect creative skills with inspiring spaces. Artists and hosts working together, directly.

Artist residencies

Two ways to take part

Every Artaway residency or creative stay is either self-funded or arranged as an exchange.

Self-funded

The artist pays a fee set by the host. Every self-funded listing shows its price, or says to contact the host.

Artist

Pays the fee shown on the listing for the stay, workspace, or programme.

Host

Provides the accommodation, workspace, and any additional support described in the listing.

Exchange

A direct exchange. The artist contributes agreed creative or practical work instead of paying a fee.

Artist

Contributes the agreed creative work, workshop, or practical help.

Host

Provides the agreed accommodation, workspace, meals, materials, or equipment access.

A few hosts cover the costs outright, or pay a stipend. Those listings carry a Funded label, and each one says exactly what is included.

What makes Artaway different

No fees, no commission

Listing is free for hosts. When an artist and host agree on a stay, the arrangement is theirs. We don't take a cut.

Direct relationships

Artists and hosts message each other directly. We don't sit in the middle of your conversations, your logistics, or your creative decisions.

Built for creative exchange

This isn't a booking platform. It's a place where artists find inspiring spaces and hosts find creative energy, and both sides walk away with more than they came with.
