(updated as of June)
2026 Program Overview
As a branch of the 2026 Residency Program, AirHue welcomes self-funded artists, curators, researchers and cultural workers to Huế, Vietnam for the period of January to December 2026. This program provides an opportunity for creative work and engagement in the ancient but dynamic city of Huế. It offers a unique chance for artists seeking a flexible, independent environment to develop their work. There is no obligation to complete a specific project by the end of the stay, allowing participants the freedom to explore their creative ideas without restrictions.
Participants are strongly encouraged to fully utilize the available resources and customize their residency experience to meet their personal objectives. AirHue provides expertise and network, offering both technical and artistic support to enhance the creative process and ensure residents have the guidance and tools they need. By fostering collaboration between residents and partnered cultural spaces, the program promotes an organic relationship rooted in the distinctive setting of Huế, Việt Nam, while maintaining a conscious vision of our globalized age.
Note: If you are considering applying for external funding to pursue the residency program, our team is more than happy to assist you throughout the funding application process (e.g., providing recommendation letters), and provide any further support to help you prepare before coming to our space, ensuring a smooth transition into the residency.
