Kathmandu International Artist in Residency (KIAR 2027)

Kathamndu, Nepal

Nestled between India and China, Nepal is a land of breathtaking landscapes, rich traditions, and diverse cultures. Home to the majestic Himalayas—including Mount Everest—Nepal offers everything from subtropical valleys with banana trees to alpine forests with grazing yaks. 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. With its intricate Newari architecture, bustling markets, and sacred Hindu and Buddhist sites, Kathmandu is more than just a city—it’s a living museum. Walking its streets feels like stepping back in time, offering an experience unlike anywhere else in the world.

Space A’s Kathmandu International Artist-in-Residency (KIAR) program offers immersive residencies for artists across disciplines—visual arts, performance, music, writing, and more. Set in the vibrant cultural hub of Kathmandu, KIAR fosters collaboration, critical dialogue, and artistic experimentation, providing a space for reflection and research in an inspiring interdisciplinary environment.

KIAR is an opportunity to travel back in time and to relive in history as well as experience natural beauty. We are going to organize a one-month-long residency (30 days) and two-month long residency (60 days). Each time max. 4 applicants will be selected. If participants are interested, KIAR will arrange 7 days of trekking during the residency program.

We believe great art can change the world - We've seen the harm the myth of the starving artist has caused - We know the more cared for a creative person becomes the easier it is for them to make great art.

It is incredibly hard to find room to pursue joy in this harsh capitalist hell scape of the modern world.

Gounded Print + Papershop

Location

1902 Cherry Street
Erie, PA 16502-2648
United States

Grounded Print & Paper Shop is a community printmaking and papermaking studio in Erie, Pennsylvania, dedicated to supporting artists through access, education, and collaboration. Housed in a repurposed industrial building, Grounded brings together a diverse community of printmakers, papermakers, book artists, fiber artists, illustrators, ceramicists, and other creative practitioners who share space, ideas, and resources.

Our studio is equipped for a wide range of traditional and experimental processes, including relief printing, screenprinting, risograph, intaglio, monoprinting, hand papermaking, and bookbinding. Artists in residence have access to professional studio equipment, dedicated workspace, and the freedom to explore new techniques or expand existing bodies of work.

Grounded is more than a production space—it is a place for exchange. Residents become part of an active creative community through open studios, workshops, exhibitions, and informal conversations with fellow artists. Adjacent to the studio is Liminal Space Gallery, where residents have the opportunity to share their work through a culminating exhibition and engage with the broader Erie community.

We welcome emerging and established artists from a wide range of disciplines who are interested in material exploration, community engagement, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Whether your practice centers on printmaking or you are looking to incorporate paper and print into your work for the first time, Grounded offers an environment that encourages experimentation, connection, and meaningful creative growth.

Resident Internships are educational work exchange positions.  Each participant receives a full fellowship ($2300 weekly value) towards a free residency, mentorship, hands-on learning, housing, a farm share, free access to all programs, and studio access in exchange for 30 hours per week of work on the community farm, and/or in the studio.

As with all residents, RIs are responsible for purchasing any additional groceries needed beyond the farm share and pantry, and preparing their own meals in the family-style kitchen. Participants are encouraged to take time to explore outdoor activities and cultural opportunities in the Adirondacks and in the Champlain Valley; regions known for hiking, rock-climbing, biking, fishing, canoeing and swimming, along with food gatherings, music festivals, and multi-cultural events.  All RIs are responsible for any additional personal expenses and a car is required.

ACRE (Academic and Creative Research) Residency Programme

Ipsden, Wallingford, United Kingdom

The ACRE (Academic and Creative Research) Residency Programme invites artists, researchers, writers, and creative practitioners to live and work at Braziers Park while developing independent projects. 

ACRE residents join the community as lodgers, typically for periods ranging from one month to one year. During this time, residents pursue their own research or creative practice while engaging with the social, ecological, and cultural environment of Braziers Park. 

Braziers Park is both a home and an educational charity dedicated to exploring the possibilities and challenges of living in community. As such, the residency programme is not only a space for individual work, but also an opportunity to participate in and reflect on collective life. 

ACRE residents contribute to Braziers’ research culture and community life, while benefiting from a supportive environment for developing ideas, creative work, and collaborative inquiry. 

For this open call, we are welcoming up to 12 ACRE residents between 1 December 2026 and 28 February 2027. Residencies may be proposed for any period within these dates, with the possibility of extension on request, depending on room availability and community capacity.
