Viet Nam | GoSEA Artists-in-Residence 2026-2027
GoSEA, from the British Council, is calling for applications from UK-based artists to apply for an artist-in-residence opportunity with one of the 9 GoSEA host organisations across five locations in Viet Nam: Hà Nội, Hồ Chí Minh City, Đà Nẵng – Hội An, Huế, and Đà Lạt. Each residency offers a mix of online engagement and a two- to four-week in-person stay, scheduled between September 2026 and March 2027 in collaboration with the host.
GoSEA places a strong emphasis on sharing creative practices and exploring ideas together. While the focus is on process and exchange, some hosts may invite artists to share something from their experience – such as a workshop, talk, or informal session.
Each host organisation offers flexible, semi-open and hybrid residencies, creating space for UK-based and Vietnamese artists to meet, share ideas, and collaborate in meaningful ways. At its heart, GoSEA is all about building lasting connections – bringing together artists and arts organisations from the UK and Viet Nam to spark creative partnerships, nurture friendships, and support collaborations that grow over time.
Support
The programme covers key expenses such as flights, accommodation, daily living costs, studio space, materials, equipment, translation, and event-related costs where needed. On top of that, artists will receive a 1,000 GBP fee for the full residency period.
Deadline: 15 June 2026
