About this opportunity
The space
The residency includes a private live/work studio located in a quiet residential area of Chiang Mai. The space comprises a 36 m² loft with sleeping and workspace areas suitable for writing, research, composition, editing, and project development. An additional 36 m² ground-floor studio provides flexible space for larger or messier projects, alongside a private 25 m² kitchen and living area reserved exclusively for the resident artist or group. Facilities include high-speed internet, monitoring speakers, an 88-key digital piano, dedicated workspaces, kitchen facilities, and a private garden of approximately 100 m². ACCOMMODATION Accommodation is fully integrated into the residency. Residents have access to a private loft featuring a queen-size bed, bathroom, workspace, balcony, and garden surroundings. The property is located in Hang Dong, approximately 20–30 minutes from Chiang Mai city centre. The accommodation is intended for one resident or a couple and is not suitable for larger groups.
What the artist will do
Off Tropics is a self-directed residency in Chiang Mai, Thailand, designed for artists, curators, producers, cultural organisers, writers, researchers, composers, filmmakers, and cultural practitioners seeking time, focus, and space for sustained work. Situated in a quiet residential area surrounded by greenery, the residency combines accommodation with a private studio environment suitable for writing, composition, research, editing, sound work, and small-scale artistic development. Founded by artists working internationally across sound, performance, and moving image, Off Tropics emerged from a desire to create the kind of place often missing between commercial accommodation and institutional residencies: an affordable environment where concentrated work, rest, and reflection can coexist. The residency is intentionally flexible. Residents may use the space for artistic research, project development, writing, remote work, or simply as a temporary base from which to engage with Chiang Mai's cultural landscape. Depending on availability, informal studio visits, artist conversations, introductions to local practitioners, and additional artistic or technical support may be arranged separately. Off Tropics prioritises autonomy, long-form thinking, and the conditions necessary for meaningful creative work.
House rules
