The length of the residencies can be from 1 week to 3 months.
Studio 88 believes in supporting artists in their continual development. There is a larger studio space that can be used with technical support, if needed. Residents will need to bring their own computer or other materials relevant for their work or they can purchase material in Chiangmai (Studio 88 can show residents where to buy materials).

The residency fee includes various benefits tailored to support your artistic project. Residencies are typically brief, and we believe that early preparation is crucial to make the most of your time here and foster meaningful connections. Therefore, we prepare as much as possible beforehand by researching potential connections in the local art scene and making inquiries, so that everything is ready to start when you arrive.
Services upon request (with additional fees)
- Two meals (self-service breakfast and shared home-cooked dinner at Studio 88)
- Organised trip or tour
- Technical support e.g. wood work, metal work, etc.

We also provide the opportunity to conduct workshops, subject to availability of space and the target audience. Additionally, we offer exhibition and project management services for an additional cost. Please let us know if you are interested in exploring these options and we can provide further details and discuss availability. Please note that galleries often plan their programme much ahead of time, so these additional projects normally take place after the residency period and can in fact take place 2 years after the residency period.
With some of our residents we have organised an exhibition after their residency stay, which has involved connecting with galleries, facilitating the agreements, installing the exhibition, and providing communication support. (For example, Ruth Cohen’s exhibition for Women’s Day.) At other times we have helped residents make regional connections (such as in Bangkok), leading to further collaborations.
