The Himalayas have been inspiring artists, thinkers, writers, seekers, and philosophers since millenia. The transcendental setting of these high mountains offer an ideal place for your next creation. Spacehouse welcomes artists and creative practitioners of diverse disciplines from around the world to come and find new inspiration in its surroundings, and make work without distraction.

Artists can choose between a short stay (3 weeks) or a long stay residency (6 weeks) across spring, summer, monsoon and winter residencies. The residency includes stay and food at the Spacehouse Himalayas at no cost to the resident-artists. On an exceptional basis, we may also be able to cover travel costs for the artists.

There is no requirement during the residency except one touchpoint by way of a talk, open house or exchange with local communities. If you wish, you may choose to make an optional donation of a work any time within 10 years of completing your residency. This will go into the permanent collection of the Spacehouse Himalayas, or as a contribution towards future fundraising efforts to support the development of young artists, makers and thinkers of the region. 

The residency is currently available only through invitation or nomination by the Spacehouse Himalayas curatorial advisors or artists who have completed a residency at the Spacehouse. If you would like to register your interest, write to us.
