China | A4 International Residency Programme 2025
The A4 International Residency Programme is calling for applications from international artists from any field for the 8–10-week residency sessions in 2025–2026 in A4 Residency Art Center, Sichuan, China.
As part of its ongoing commitment to sustainability, the theme for this edition is ‘Transdisciplinary Action for Sustainability’. The residency invites collaboration across disciplines, welcoming not only artists but also scientists, writers, poets, scholars, musicians, architects, designers, brand owners, and other creators and explorers.
The periods available are late July to early October 2025 (autumn) or mid-April to late June 2026 (spring).
At the end of each residency session, A4 Residency will organise key public projects to create a large-scale platform for connection and display. Resident artists will be invited to review, present, and discuss the outcomes of the residency session. For the autumn RE-CREATE Residency Art Season, spring session artists will also be invited back to participate.
During the residency, creators are required to initiate one to two participatory local activities to facilitate communication with the city and community.

- Round-trip airfare
- Accommodation
- Workspace
- Material fees (10,000 RMB per person or group)
- A ‘Super Agent’ connection system
