Organised by Singapore Art Museum, SAM Artist, Community & Education, and Curatorial & Research Residencies welcomes applications from artists, curators, educators, researchers, and creative practitioners from across the globe to apply for Cycle 4. Slated to run from June 2027 to December 2028, Cycle 4 is organised around three strands: Listening/Attuning, Making/Material Cultures and Beyond Human/Interdependence.
Listening/Attuning platforms practices that respond critically to the urgencies of our time. Making/Material Cultures foregrounds material inquiry and the process of making. Beyond Human/Interdependence addresses relationships between humans, technologies, ecologies, and other forms of life, considering how these worlds remain fundamentally interconnected and interdependent. Applicants are invited to interpret these themes in relation to their practice.
Residents will pursue independent research and are open to engage with communities and the public in Singapore as part of their process. They are also encouraged to share works in progress or research outcomes through open studios, screenings, workshops, talks, and other experimental public formats.
SAM Residencies is open to individuals, duos and collectives from all mediums and disciplines. International applicants may apply for residencies of one to three months, while Singapore-based applicants may apply for up to six months.
SAM Residencies will provide the following:
- A shared studio space OR co-working space.
- 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.
- Singapore-based residents receive a monthly stipend of 1,500 SGD and a monthly local allowance of 250 SGD.
- International residents receive a monthly stipend of 1,500 SGD, roundtrip flight on economy class, housing arrangement, and assistance with visa formalities.
