Eligibility

The residency is open to diverse art forms such as literature, visual arts, new media, performing arts (dance, theatre, music), craft and design. However, it is a space open for a great diversity of creative projects and thinkers, which could include curators who need the time to develop their next project or academics who need space to read and write. It’s possible to connect with local artists and communities or to intensively work on your own project. Get in touch if you’d like to talk about your potential project.

Number of Participants

The residency period is open to up to five artists per month. Each resident will stay in their own bungalow, although there is a shared space for sharing conversations and meals.

Program Description

Studio 88 Artist Residency is a space to experiment, play, share, make mistakes and learn in the northern Thai town of Doi Saket. This self-directed residency gives time and space to focus on creating, rather than producing outputs. In the first week Sasiwimon Wongjarin (Aom), an international arts manager and a native of Doi Saket, will introduce the residents to the space and the local context through a series of studio tours and site visits. Additionally, where possible she can provide any additional information about local artist initiatives tailored to each artist’s interests. The residency is an open format where each resident has the freedom to shape their own direction and focus. The aim of the residency is to provide time out from the busy day-to-day life in order to create tranquil space to create. There is no pressure to produce any final outputs by the end of the residency, although the team can help to facilitate connections with galleries or other initiatives.
