We-Che Art Residency

Trevelin, Chubut, Argentina

We-Che Art Residency is an artist run project, founded by the artistic duo Raom&Loba. In line with our own vision and experience, we humbly wish to offer others what we have received from our peers at different points in our artistic careers: an inspiring place, a warm and quiet workspace, conducive to constructive exchanges with artists from every parts of the world… as a small, human-scale adventure.

We-Che is located on 2ha slice of landscape, crossed by a river, planted of pine and native trees on the 259 Road. close to the historic village of Trevelin founded by Welsh immigrants and 15km from Futaleufú and the Chilean border. A natural nest, backing onto a protected natural area of over 40 ha the Nant y Fall river and its waterfalls. In the heart of the 16th of October Valley, its vineyards, its famous and vast 5million tulip field, facing the majestic pre-Andean mountains in the background at just a few kilometers from the southern entrance of Los Alerces National Park. 

We-Che, meansYoung in mapuche, and we encourage artists to connect to Patagonia as a natural historical and cultural environnement. Our proposal is to spend time and space away to retreat, create and rejuvenate, gathering new inspiration, and also participate to a more respectful relationship between Art and Nature.

We welcome all creators and writers if their project fits to We-Che, evaluating if our structure can give all the necessary space and is able to promote the better experience for each one

Our studio is new, and we are constantly expanding our equipment with new tools and technical materials. To optimize space, and depending on the artists' projects, we set up different configurations, as well as various tools and equipment: lighted drawing tables, architect's drawing tables, paper storage units, tripods and stereoscopic cameras (vintage, analog, and digital), a flatbed scanner, a basic office black and white laser printer, easels, and benches, a video projector, a 3D scanner and 3D printer, a lightweight laser engraver (50x70 cm), an embroidery overlocker (Cornely A3), a basic vintage Elna sewing machine, a tuffting gun, and basic tools for woodworking and metalworking.

An Eclectic Evolutiv library where visiting Artists can find documentation, and inspiration, and are invited to deposit their book and catalogs to share with future residents. 

In the main studio, there is a basic supply emergency fund and artists are encouraged when leaving We-Che to deposit here supplies and remains of their projects, to contribute to enrich the emergency supply and material fund

We are also gradually creating new workspaces that will complement our existing studios with an etching press coming soon for non toxic etching practice.

Obee Editions

Location

104 Eastside Drive, Unit 190
Black Mountain, NC 28711
United States

Obee Editions is a collaborative fine art printmaking studio founded in 2016 by Tamarind Master Printer Perry Obee and based in Black Mountain, North Carolina, near Asheville. Rooted in the rich artistic culture of Western North Carolina, the studio works one-on-one with artists to develop original print projects through traditional and contemporary printmaking techniques.

Obee Editions partners with both established and emerging artists across disciplines, providing technical expertise, professional production, and a supportive environment for experimentation, risk-taking, and creative growth. Through collaborative publishing projects, residencies, and visiting artist programs, the studio aims to expand access to printmaking while broadening the range of voices represented in contemporary print practice.

The Obee Editions Residency offers immersive, process-driven collaborations in lithography, monotype, relief, chine collé, artist books, and hybrid print processes. Artists work closely with the master printer to develop projects that evolve through dialogue, experimentation, and hands-on studio practice.

SOPRA SOTTO

Location

Giovanni Moro 7
07030 BORTIGIADAS SS
Italy

SOPRA SOTTO is a transdisciplinary art residency inspired by the philosophy "as above, so below" (come sopra, così sotto), and functions as a living laboratory grounded in experimentation, co-creation and creative exchange.

The residencies are communal living experiences that explore how we relate, live, and create together beyond dominant systems. Slower daily rhythms offer space to reconnect with oneself, others, and nature. Everyday life centers around shared cooking and meals, time in nature, creative workshops, rest, occasional excursions, and open dialogue. Art is approached as a lens, co-living as a method, relationship as a research, and presence becomes practice.

The residency offers a framework to work with themes around community, ecology, embodiment, system change, healing and our relationship to nature, body, and spirit. Each residency is shaped around changing overarching themes, often co-developed a collaborator with specific experience and knowledge on the topic. The content of each residency is largely shaped by the residents themselves, with a participatory structure based on a co-created workshop program. The residency is built by residents for residents, through cross-pollination of ideas, collaboration, and collective experimentation.

​Together, residents create a shared container to examine paradigms that no longer serve us, and to explore how extractive systems can be reworked into more regenerative ways of being. Creatives have the power to shape narratives and ideas, and can influence cultural consciousness through ripple effect. Art becomes a tool for questioning, reflection, research, and dialogue, inviting participants to challenge assumptions and explore new ways of sensing and understanding the world. Creative expression is understood as a means for connection, emotional expression, and collective healing. 

​The residency is for interdisciplinary culture shapers from a wide range of fields, including artists in different media, writers, researchers, philosophers, educators, scientists, dancers, musicians, and other creators and changemakers. It welcomes people from all backgrounds, nationalities, ethnicities, ages, religions, sexual orientations, and walks of life, and is shaped around diversity, openness, and shared practice across communities and disciplines.

SOPRA SOTTO prioritizes a process-based approach over fixed outcomes, and exists as an ongoing experiment offering a space for collective (un)learning and reflection grounded in curiosity and presence. Running since 2023, SOPRA SOTTO is evolving toward longer-term residency programs in Sardinia from late 2026 onwards, developing a more rooted project for communal living, critical inquiry, and creative exchange.

Ohio River House

Location

PO Box 4
Higginsport, OH 45131
United States

Our organization is based at a historic riverfront property in southern Ohio, near the Appalachian border region, where we are developing an interdisciplinary artist-in-residence program for visual artists, writers, and musicians. The site includes a restored early-19th-century home and former warehouse adapted into living and working spaces, offering artists a setting that supports focused creative work alongside informal exchange and connection.

The residency is intentionally small, place-based, and process-oriented. We are especially interested in supporting artists whose practices benefit from time, space, and reflection, without pressure for specific outcomes. While public engagement is not required, we encourage optional activities such as open studios, conversations, or workshops when they arise naturally from the artist’s work and are meaningful to the surrounding community.

Water & Rock Nature

Thassos, Greece

The Water & Rock artist residency invites creatives and writers in the traditional and picturesque village of Kazaviti on the island of Thassos. The village is nestled in the mountains, surrounded by forest and natural springs, bursting with history.

Nature is at the center of everything we do at Water & Rock, we want to bring awareness to the beauty and importance of the fauna and flora of the island in an aim to build a greater sense of interdependence, for now and for future generations, human and non-human. 

We invite you to spend some time here and soak up the beauty and energy the landscape has to offer. There is no doubt that the scenery, wildlife and history will inspire you to create something beautiful. The island will be generous to you, and your gift back to her will be your creativity which in turn will inspire others to look at nature differently and cherish the richness, beauty and life that it brings.

Each residency will be themed in line with the cycles of nature of that month.

We will be offering many creative outdoor activities including hikes, nature guided walks, outdoor art days, social gatherings, teachings and more.

Your host Leah Heming is a passionate nature guide, artist and people lover. She has over 10 years’ experience in the commercial art gallery business, 20 years in the publishing and animation business, and 5 years of living a simpler life on the island of Thassos. Leah can't wait to get creative with you and show you around the island!

Studios/Facilities Details

Argo Studios is located on the 4th floor of a brutalist concrete building on Kallidromiou street. The building is an acquired taste - a friend recently described it as having “peak 90’s aesthetics” -  but we love it. There are huge windows in every studio, and we share the building with a dance studio, a performance rehearsal space, and our exhibition space, the Argo Annex. (The dance/ rehearsal studios may be accessed upon request for an additional fee.)

We provide residents with large studios simply furnished with the basics you will need to let your creativity expand: a table, a chair, shelves, a lamp. Standing and desk easels will be available for those who want them.

The shared common areas include: a cozy studio living room, a simple kitchen with all the basics for cooking a nice lunch and making tea and coffee, and a woodshop full of tools and materials. We also offer a number of TVs (ranging from vintage to flatscreen), a mic and amp, and other limited AV equipment for those who would like to use them. A shared supply cupboard provides basic materials; additional art supplies are resident responsibilities.
