Open Call

In-situ aims to support international emerging and mid-career artists and designers whose practice can benefit from spending time in Hong Kong. Applicants from all art and design backgrounds and any nationalities are welcome to apply. Academics, scholars, and curators may also apply. Nonetheless, In-situ hopes its applicants can take advantage of the studio space and woodshop facilities. In-situ does not provide accommodation but we are glad to make recommendations for affordable housing in the neighborhood.

Mission

In-situ is Latin for "in place". Our aim is to support artists with an experimental art practice. We are less focused on the final outcome, but rather, on the process of making, and of discovery. We also don’t ask for detailed project proposals, budgets, or schedules during the application process because we believe projects and ideas should be informed after spending time here, "in-situ".

Hong Kong Artist Residency

In-situ is based in the energetic metropolis of Hong Kong. Known for its iconic skyscrapers and fast-paced lifestyle, Hong Kong is a modern international city that is still deeply rooted in its Chinese cultural heritage. As a top travel destination in Asia, Hong Kong is a very easy city for international visitors to explore given its world-class public transit system, walkability, and wide use of English.​ As an influential art hub in the Asia Pacific region, Hong Kong hosts the Art Basel art fair, many prominent art galleries, and the M+ Museum. We regularly organize artist talks, open studios, introductions to local artists and art professionals, and keep residents updated with the latest gallery openings and cultural events.

Program Fee Given studio rent and accommodation costs in Hong Kong are amongst the highest in the world, we strive to keep the program fee to a minimum to cover basic operating costs and to allow for artists to budget for their accommodation. In-situ operates as an independent artist-run space, with one full time staff, and an artists collective whom also contributes their time and energy.
