Harkat Studios

Location

17, Aram Nagar II, Versova, Andheri West
Mumbai 400061
Maharashtra
India

Harkat Studios is an alternative performance black box, artist-run film lab and community space in Mumbai. Nestled in the tranquil neighbourhood of Versova, in the northern suburb of the city, it is in the heart of the creative industry - commercial and fringe alike. Harkat has been in existence since 10+ years, and is deeply connected to the artistic community in the city. In the past we have produced plays, films, multidisciplinary performances and festivals with Indian and international artists.

Harkat Residency:
Residencies are open to performance artists, visual artists, filmmakers, researchers who wish to use the darkroom/ artist lab setup or the black box as a temporary working environment. Residents get to determine the structure of the residency, their creative intentions and workflow. The residency supports interaction with local artists, thinkers and makers; a deep understanding and experience of Indian urban culture, an overall opportunity to connect with and draw inspiration from homegrown communities. Harkat sees the residency as more than a service– a shared responsibility between the place and its temporary inhabitants.
Fees differ according to duration of residency.

Ruby Mountain Project Artist Residency Program

Landers, CA, United States

Ruby Mountain Project is an evolving collaboration of artists, residents, and community members rooted in the integration of art, connection, and land stewardship. It supports a diverse, climate-resilient habitat while serving as a land-based creative hub where local and international communities come together through meaningful shared experiences.

The residency program is for artists and creatives of most disciplines. We especially encourage those who identify as BIPOC, LGBTQIA2S+ and early career/ development to apply. Residency programming runs from September through May, with most cohorts being 3 weeks long. 1, 2 and 7 weeks stays are also possible. Most cohorts will have up to 3 artists at a time. Open studios, artist presentations and special events are possible. There are no expectations for specific amounts of work to be created or productivity: rest, play and experimentation are welcome.

Flame & Estudio Inverso

Location

Blandon, 1
28025 Madrid Madrid
Spain

Flame Asociación Cultural x Estudio Inverso is a strategic creative partnership combining cultural advocacy, premium real estate infrastructure, and five years of proven studio management in Madrid.

Asociación Flame is an NGO dedicated to securing and promoting physical spaces for the contemporary arts. Founded by the owners of our Carabanchel industrial warehouse facility, Flame provides the institutional framework for international art events, festivals, exhibitions, and digital artist promotion. The initiative is driven by four founding members who bring a unique blend of creative and corporate expertise to the project: two established artists, Chema Perona and Marcelo Mendonca, alongside two business professionals originally from the banking and property sectors. The team possesses extensive experience in the United Kingdom running prominent art NGOs, including Chromart.org and Ugly Duck spaces in London. Through these platforms, the founders successfully promoted hundreds of international artists and organized large-scale contemporary exhibitions and multi-disciplinary art festivals.

Estudio Inverso serves as our expert operational partner. Founded five years ago as a successful 10-artist "open walls" collective in the central Malasaña district, they expanded operations by joining forces with Flame’s founders to open an additional 13 specialized open studios within our newly renovated 320m² Carabanchel warehouse.

Together, our joint venture bridges international institutional expertise with hands-on studio management, embedding resident artists directly into the vanguard of Madrid's contemporary art scene.

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.
