Residency in Bangalore, 1 Shanthiroad

The Swedish Arts Grants Committee's International Programme for Visual and Applied Artists, IASPIS, offers a two-month residency at 1Shanthiroad Studio/Gallery in Bangalore, India. The residency is designed for professional artists in visual and applied arts to create, develop and nurture their contacts outside Sweden. 1Shanthiroad is the oldest and most established residency in Bangalore, founded in 2003, and provides a workspace, studio apartment, and integration into the local artistic community. The residency includes a stipend of SEK 45,000 to cover travel, living expenses and material costs. The studio apartments are best suited for desk work, with shared meals being a regular feature. Artists will have access to Bangalore's vibrant arts scene, including connections to artists working with gender, sexuality, and new media technology, as well as opportunities to collaborate with other artists and engage with the city's rich cultural resources including museums, galleries, botanical gardens, and craft traditions.
