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 but will give priority to creative practices that can take advantage of the studio space and woodshop facilities. In-situ does not provide accommodation but we will assist in finding 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 In-situ is an independent studio residency program. Our monthly program fee helps offset the basic operating costs of running a residency in Hong Kong. We are able to provide a support letter to accepted applicants to apply for funding in their home country and for applicants who will not be seeking external funding to cover their residency costs, there is a small amount of financial aid available. For current program fees, please contact John: john@insituresidency.com
