About the residency program

New Space Arts Foundation runs an annual residency program open to all Vietnamese and international artists to stay and work in Hue city. 

Aiming to increase contemporary art appreciation amongst the general public, NSAF’s main activities financially and spatially support young Vietnamese and international artists by giving them the opportunities to uninhibitedly express, develop and realize their ideas. NSAF owns a friendly/convenient location where artists could experiment with new artistic media such as video art, performance art, and installation art. It also offers space for film screenings, workshops, and art discussions. 

Depending on specific cases, NSAF will invite appropriate independent artists, critics, and curators to be guest curators or co-artistic directors of the programming.

To apply, please download and fill out the application form available below. The filled out form is to be sent to the foundation via email together with a CV, a portfolio, and a portrait photo (please carefully read the instructions at the bottom of the application form). If the project is approved, an invitation letter will be sent to the applicant with more details on the date, time, and conditions. All projects which are not approved by NSAF will not be replied to.
