Artudio international artists residency (AIAR)

Artudio, a contemporary art platform at the heart of Kathmandu, Nepal, regards artistic creation as an essential cornerstone of a vibrant, equitable, and flourishing society. Through its distinguished International Artists Residency Program (AIA Residency), Artudio invites artists from all disciplines—visual arts, music, literature, performance, and beyond—along with curators, writers, researchers, and interdisciplinary experts to immerse themselves in a culturally, naturally, and artistically enriched environment. This program champions cross-cultural collaboration, exchange and fosters an inspiring ecosystem where creative and intellectual pursuits thrive. The AIA Residency accommodates two international artists simultaneously, offering flexible durations from 1 to 6 months tailored to the needs of each participant. The organisers encourage artists to conduct a workshop to young artists or students at Artudio or our partner institutions. They welcome visionary thinkers and contemporary artists from around the globe, spanning diverse disciplines including: Visual Arts (painting, drawing, mixed media, sculpture, ceramics, printmaking) New Media Art (video art, sound art, digital installations) Design (graphic, industrial, fashion, illustration) Writing (literature, poetry, art criticism) Curatorial Practices and Research Performance Arts (theater, dance, interdisciplinary) Creative Media (photography, vlogging, creative influencing) Artudio’s International Artist Residency Program is designed for visionary artists seeking to redefine creative boundaries, explore new forms of expression, and gain international recognition within a vibrant artistic community. The organisers look forward to welcoming you to Kathmandu for a transformative artistic journey.
