Kathmandu Metropolitan City, Nepal
Discover Nepal – A Land of Culture & Natural Beauty Nestled between India and China, Nepal is a land of breathtaking landscapes, rich traditions, and diverse cultures.

The country’s cultural heritage is just as vast, with centuries-old temples, vibrant festivals, and deep-rooted traditions. Kathmandu, the heart of Nepal, is an ancient city where history and modernity coexist.

Kampi ya Lucki - Kakamega Forest Residency
Western Kenya, along Kakamega-Webuye road: 300 meters before Kambiri junction.
Kampi ya Lucki sits against a granite outcrop on the edge of the Kakamega Rainforest, one of the last fragments of the ancient forest that once stretched across East Africa, with the Nandi Hills escarpment rising on the other side. It began as a conservation project: land left to regenerate, beekeeping in its wilder corners, indigenous trees given room to return. Hosting artists grew out of that same instinct, a belief that creative work and the land it happens on shouldn't be separate things. We invite you to spend a month here, letting that connection shape your work. You'll sleep in one of the new lodges, designed and built by Lucki himself from local materials, with hot water and electricity, and work in a separate studio cabin set apart, closer to the forest. Days move at the forest's pace: early light, long open hours, afternoon tropical rain, walks into the rainforest reserve, meeting local communities, evenings by the rock. This residency is for artists who want to disconnect from routine in the rural landscapes of Western Kenya and reconnect, through landscape, material, and the local community, to the forest and what it can bring to their practice.

Hosted Artist Residencies on the edge of Wollemi Wilderness, near Sydney, Australia
Bilpin, Australia
BigCi is an independent, artist run, not for profit artist residency program focusing on artists’ professional development and facilitating their projects. BigCi has been established and run by Rae Bolotin, a practicing artist, and Yuri Bolotin, environmentalist and wilderness explorer. Because of our location on the edge of Wollemi National Park within the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Greater Blue Mountains and the knowledge base of our team, many of our resident artists are particularly interested in projects that explore environmental or ecological issues, although many others use our beautiful natural surroundings as a source of creativity for a variety of different artistic pursuits. All residents have opportunities to take part in bushwalks conducted by Yuri Bolotin, an experienced mountain guide and author, and to learn first hand about the unique natural environment of the area. Artists-in-residence are able to present their work during a BigCi Open Day that usually takes place at the end of their stay.

PRE-COLUMBIAN COLORING TECHNIQUES INSTRUCTIONAL RESIDENCY
Puebla, México
The Mesoamerican Codex Painting Instructional Program acknowledges the rich artistic heritage of Mesoamerican codices and offers a nuanced perspective that connects traditional tlacuilo —painter-scribes trained in complex artistic traditions— painting techniques with contemporary artistic practices. This 3-week mentored production program includes 27 hours of master instruction by Arquetopia’s studio maestro, who teaches techniques historically associated with the extraction of color, the production of pigments used on amate paper, and the painting methods employed in codex creation. Instruction focuses on learning and experimentation with traditional pigments, organic and mineral color preparation, amate painting processes, line work, and related codex painting techniques. Instruction is in Spanish, though participants need not speak Spanish to successfully complete the course. Individual mentoring is provided by our directorial and curatorial staff for personalized project guidance and critique. Participants also work independently in our spaces. Instruction focuses on the preparation and use of organic and mineral pigments historically associated with codex production, including cochineal, Maya blue, earth pigments, and organic binders.

Myoju Residency Fellowship near Kyoto
Ōmihachiman, Japan
Based in Shiga, we run a jewelry brand using freshwater pearls from Lake Biwa while creating a space where art and people connect through experiences. Myoju 明珠 — meaning “shining pearl” — is an artist residency rooted in the quiet richness of Shiga, shaped by the nature and deep history of Lake Biwa and the belief that each person carries a unique inner radiance. Located in Omihachiman, a historic merchant town and home of the Biwako Biennale, about 35 minutes from Kyoto, the residency offers a setting where Western contemporary perspectives meet an Eastern historic landscape. Alongside the residency, we operate a small gallery café that serves as a gentle meeting point between artists and the local community. Here, artists live, research, create, and engage with their surroundings in an ongoing exchange shaped by intention and meaningful relationships, forming a creative ecosystem where international and local perspectives naturally meet and grow.

Contemporary art residency in the South Tyrol mountains — BASIS
Schlanders
BASIS is a contemporary art space and residency program in Schlanders, in the Vinschgau valley of South Tyrol. It supports artists working in contemporary and experimental disciplines, offering studio space and accommodation in a mountain setting at the cultural crossroads of Italy and Austria. South Tyrol's bilingual, bicultural character — Italian and German — gives it a distinct atmosphere unlike anywhere else in Italy. The Vinschgau valley is one of the most dramatic in the region, with the Ortler massif visible from the studio windows. Bolzano, with its strong contemporary art institutions including the Museion, is about an hour away. The program is connected to a broader network of Alpine and Central European art spaces.
Interdisciplinary residency for live arts in Venice — C32
Venice
C32 is run by Live Arts Cultures, an international network supporting artists working across performance, visual art, installation, and experimental disciplines. Based in Venice, it offers residency periods for artists whose practice benefits from the specific conditions of the city — its spatial constraints, its water-bound geography, and its relationship to spectacle and display. Residencies are structured around the Venice Biennale cycle, making C32 particularly relevant for artists interested in the international contemporary art conversation. The programme includes studio time, public presentations, and regular exchange with the broader Live Arts network. Best suited to interdisciplinary practitioners and those working in time-based or site-responsive forms.
Independent studio residency in central Florence — Chiasso Perduto
Florence
Chiasso Perduto is an independent artist residency and studio space in the historic centre of Florence. It offers working residencies for visual artists and creatives who want access to Florence's museums, archives, and artistic heritage while maintaining a self-directed, non-institutional practice. The residency is deliberately small-scale and informal. Artists work in private studios, with accommodation nearby. Florence's density of public collections — the Uffizi, Bargello, Museo dell'Opera del Duomo — makes it a useful base for artists whose practice is in dialogue with art history, material culture, or craft traditions. Best for artists who want the city, not the countryside.
Farm residency for artists in the Po Valley — Cascina Dell'Arte
Crescentino
Cascina Dell'Arte is an artist residency on a working farm in the Po Valley of Piedmont, near the town of Crescentino. It offers studio space and accommodation in a rural agricultural setting for artists working across disciplines. The program emphasises connection between creative practice and the landscape — the flat, river-threaded plains of the Po are a very different Italy from the Tuscan hills or the Roman urban context. Artists who have worked here describe the surrounding flatness and the light as unexpectedly generative. Turin is approximately 45 minutes away and offers access to a strong contemporary art scene, including the Fondazione Sandretto and Castello di Rivoli.
Self-directed residency in a medieval Tuscan village — Banditto Art
Montefollonico
Banditto is an independent artist residency in Montefollonico, a walled medieval village in the Val d'Orcia in southern Tuscany. It offers self-directed residencies for visual artists, writers, and performers in a setting that prioritises quiet, focus, and the particular quality of light and landscape that characterises this part of Italy. Residencies are flexible in length and structure. Artists work independently in private studios, with accommodation in the village. The surrounding countryside — vineyards, cypress avenues, hilltop towns — is both a working context and an amenity. Montefollonico is a short drive from Montepulciano and Pienza, and roughly two hours from both Florence and Rome.
Künstlerhaus Hooksiel — Contemporary Art Residency on the North Sea
Hooksiel, Lower Saxony
A contemporary art residency on the North Sea coast committed to critical and experimental artistic practice.
