Baan Noorg Collaborative Arts & Culture

Nongpho, Thailand

Baan Noorg Collaborative Arts & Culture, founded in 2011 in Nongpho, Ratchaburi, Thailand, offers an International Artist in Residence Program focused on community engagement, cultural exchange, and multidisciplinary practice. Situated in a Tai Yuan heritage town, the program invites international artists, curators, and researchers to stay for periods ranging from three weeks to three months. Artists engage with the community through workshops, exhibitions, and collaborative events. The program promotes contemporary art in rural and urban contexts, fostering creative interactions and direct engagement with the local culture and landscape. Artists can work in shared studio spaces with access to basic tools, and they are provided accommodation within a community-centric setting. The residency is self-funded by artists, with a participation fee of $100 per week for open calls, while invited artists may receive additional support. This artist-run residency emphasizes the importance of a shared artistic experience, community integration, and artistic development through critical discussion and cultural immersion.

Thai Child Development Foundation (TCDF)

Changwat Chumpon, Thailand

The ART ECO Artist-in-Residence program at the Thai Child Development Foundation (TCDF) in Changwat Chumphon, Thailand, invites local and international artists to live, work, and collaborate with the foundation's guests, volunteers, and community, focusing on recycled materials, photography, or paint/drawing to promote environmental conservation and innovative thinking about art. Artists reside in private guesthouse rooms with provided meals (fee-based), use on-site buildings as studios, and may participate in weekend recycling education programs. The program is part of TCDF's broader mission to support underprivileged children through healthcare, education, and sustainable initiatives at their Eco-Logic facility.
