Artist Residency

Our multidisciplinary residency is a dynamic space for artistic exploration, where each resident defines their own creative journey. Rooted in collaboration, the program invites artists to engage with Thai creatives and local communities, fostering meaningful cultural exchange. Through exhibitions, workshops, performances and dialogue, we explore how art and culture can inspire positive environmental change. Our artist residency is by invitation only.
