LIMEN is organized in partnership with Berlin Film Community, an association of over 30,000 followers dedicated to supporting independent filmmaking and visual arts practice. LIMEN was co-founded by Linda Paganelli and Adriano Lostia — both long-standing members and co-founders of Berlin Film Community — bringing together Paganelli's background in visual anthropology and decolonial, queer-feminist filmmaking with Lostia's work spanning documentary film, humanitarian project management, and grassroots organizing.

Based at Casa M, a restored manor house in the medieval village of Siddi, Sardinia, LIMEN operates as a small, independently run residency — this is its inaugural edition, launching October 2026, with a long-term intention to continue as an annual program supporting artists working at the intersection of memory, land, and political and queer inquiry.

Casa Hechale is an artist-led cultural center and international residency platform dedicated to theatre, performance, and new work in Mexico City. While many residencies are designed primarily for visual artists, Casa Hechale offers a home for actors, directors, playwrights, dramaturgs, dancers, musicians, performers, producers, and interdisciplinary live artists.

Housing, rehearsal and creation spaces,  community programs, and a Black Box Theatre come together under one roof, allowing artists to live, write, train, rehearse, experiment, convene, and share work within an active cultural environment. Two- and four-week, process-centered residencies include orientation, a Community Manager, artistic dialogue, program invitations, an informal Open House, and connections across Mexico City. No finished production is required.

Rooted in Mexico City and international in outlook, Casa Hechale builds a cultural bridge connecting Mexican and Chicano artists and wider U.S. performing arts communities with practitioners in Spain, Europe, and beyond. Partial scholarships support four-week residents, with an additional award for eligible Latin American artists.

GENETO ART FOUNDATION is a Kyoto-based arts organization dedicated to supporting contemporary artistic practice, international cultural exchange, and the creation of new connections between art, architecture, culture, and society.

The Foundation operates an international Artist-in-Residence program in Kyoto, inviting artists from around the world to live and create in one of Japan’s most historically and culturally significant cities. Artists are provided with accommodation and studio space for up to 60 days, together with curatorial, promotional, and exhibition support.

Our program encourages artists to engage directly with Japanese culture, history, spirituality, architecture, and local communities, allowing these encounters to become part of their creative research and practice.

The program is currently expanding through a collaboration with Hieizan Enryaku-ji Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most important centers of Japanese Buddhism. Through these partnerships, GENETO ART FOUNDATION seeks to create meaningful dialogue between contemporary artistic expression and Japan’s living cultural heritage.

Nes Artist Residency (Nes Listamiðstöð) is an international residency established 2008 in Skagaströnd, a small village in Northwest Iceland. The studio at Fjörubraut 8 was once a fish processing plant in Skagaströnd. Nes provides artists, writers, and musicians with studio space and accommodation in a shared house, and the freedom to work at their own pace. Now one of the largest residencies in Iceland, Nes hosts between 90-120 artists per year, accepting applications year-round. Nes operates with foundational support from the Municipality of Skagaströnd and the Regional Development Institute Byggðastofnun, and has received funding for three local art initiatives: our Public Art Project, Light Up, and Artists in Schools. Writers-in-residence receive a quiet workspace through a partnership with Rannsóknasetri Háskóla Íslands, a beautiful research library overlooking the Húnaflói Bay. Since its founding, Nes has participated in a scholarship exchange program with Künstlerhaus Lukas.

The Ozark Artist Retreat and Studio is a recently restored three-bedroom, three-bath farmhouse, sitting on 17 wooded acres in the heart of the Ozark Mountains six miles from Table Rock Lake in Missouri. The property is nestled next to the National Mark Twain Forest with extraordinary scenic views.  The retreat can comfortably accommodate up to three artists, with three sitting areas, a fully equipped kitchen, and a large, well-lit studio. Located 5 miles from Shell Knob, 42 miles from Springfield, 40 miles from Branson, and 30 miles from Eureka Springs, Arkansas, the retreat is close enough to explore all the area has to offer, while its peaceful, secluded setting is the ideal backdrop for artists to create.

Artist residencies are available from one to four weeks in length, offering artists from all genres dedicated time to create. The residency is application-based and includes:

• Choice of 1, 2, 3 or 4 consecutive weeks
• Shared kitchen, studio, living areas and laundry facilities
• Kitchen stocked with coffee, tea and basic spices and pantry staples
• Linens laundered each week
• Transportation to grocery store, post office, pharmacy, etc. three times each week

Pie Ranch is a nonprofit organization dedicated to food education, regenerative agriculture, and community collaborations. Through hands-on programs and regional partnerships, we support a nourishing food system that benefits people and the land.

Pie Ranch is committed to fairness, access, and opportunity across all programs. We recognize that economic and structural barriers shape participation in food and farming systems, and we work to reduce those barriers through education, community partnerships, and inclusive program design. 

We are thrilled to offer The Pie Ranch Artist Residency Program. This program will welcome seven artists to live and work on the farm from November 2-15, 2026.

The Pie Ranch Artist Residency is specifically designed for artists whose work addresses food issues, farmworker issues, agroecology, Indigenous foodways, and/or food self sufficiency or artists who would like to propose and create new work that address these topics. 

We are excited to host artists from multiple disciplines and/or artists who work across many disciplines including but not limited to: visual artists, painters and muralists, film makers, writers and poets, musicians, chefs, photographers, dancers, and more. 

We also welcome artists’ collaborations that would like to work on a project together during their time at the residency. 

This residency will be self-directed and project-based. Artists can choose to continue working on a pre-existing project that addresses topics of food justice or work on a new body of work. 

We prioritize proposals aligning with Pie Ranch’s mission and values and that align with the intersections of art, food, and farming.

As a non-profit educational farm, we are committed to creating a community of artists from diverse backgrounds.
