SAM Residencies is now accepting applications for its Artist; Community & Education; and Curatorial and Research residencies from May 16 to August 15, 2022. The studio-based residencies will take place within a period of one to six months. Artists and researchers from all around the world may apply.
SAM Residencies is a museum-run programme committed to supporting the development of innovative artistic and curatorial practices that respond to current global discourses. Developed in line with SAM’s vision of engaging local and international artistic communities across a wide range of disciplines, the programme will feature four residency types to support emerging and innovative practices, facilitate collaborations, and widen public understanding of art. The studio-based residencies will be open to artists, curators, art organisations and artist-run spaces, as well as community and education-focused art practitioners.
Designed to engage both the art community and the public at large, SAM Residencies will actively involve local communities and the public through a diverse lineup of activities. For the art community, it serves as an incubator for new approaches to artistic and curatorial practices through supporting dialogue within and beyond the field of contemporary art. It offers a platform for artistic experimentation and encourages the exchange of ideas and opportunities for future collaboration, as well as network building. The Residents will also be encouraged to interact with or involve local communities and the public in different ways, through presentations and programmes such as open studio visits, talks, and workshops.
These residencies will be open to those based in Singapore or internationally, and will take place in physical spaces in Singapore. Each residency will take place between a period of one and six months.
A fully funded programme, SAM Residencies will support Residents with:
- 1 x return airfare on economy class
- Monthly stipend of SGD$1,500
- Housing allowance for foreign residents
- A studio space OR co-working space
- An “ideas lab” – a shared space where anyone is free to post (physically), respond, explore and flesh out ideas-in-progress
- Support from the museum and the Residencies team in the form of (but not limited to) institution resources and expertise, network building, opportunities for public engagement, and a scaffold for interaction and exchange
