AirHue is a residency program based in Huế, Việt Nam, designed to support national and international emerging and mid-career artists, curators, researchers and cultural workers. Our mission is anchored in three core principles: work-based residency, community engagement, and experimental research.

About

Program

This program prioritizes Vietnamese artists based in Việt Nam and offers residencies with a minimum duration of eight weeks. It provides a focused environment for artists to realize their work and engage deeply with their practice.

  • Currently, we are calling for applications for the 2026 Residency Program in partnership with the Goethe-Institut Hanoi (program overview in English and Vietnamese). Deadline: June 15, 2026.

    In case you have the means to self-fund or have possible access to external funding, consider applying to our Self-Funded Residency Program.

This program offers a flexible and independent environment for creative exploration in Huế, Việt Nam. We customize our approach to adapt to the needs of each project and support the artist in their development process without the pressure of completing any specific work (although that would be fun!) Our application portal is currently open for the 2026 cycle running from January to December.

    Program Overview

    If you are a UK-based artist in search for funding opportunities, please take a look at the GoSEA Artists-in-Residence Open Call 2026-2027. AirHue is among the host organizations for the 2026-2027 season. Deadline: June 15, 2026.

    If you are considering applying for other external funding to pursue the residency program, our team is more than happy to assist you throughout the funding application process after you have been selected (e.g., providing recommendation letters), and provide any further support to help you prepare before coming to our space, ensuring a smooth transition into the residency.

    If you are a Vietnamese based in Việt Nam, consider applying to our Sponsored Residency Program. Stay tuned for our next open call announcement toward the middle of next year!

In parallel to building an environment for (art)work development through residencies, we organize and facilitate a variety of activities to foster creativity, artistic expression and collaboration, as well as community engagement.

Our social engagement program features studio openings, artist talks, workshops, pop-up libraries, performances, and other community projects.

As an independent art program, AirHue would not be able to sustain without the ongoing and unwavering support of our patrons and collaborators.

If you like what we do, please consider donating to the program. Or better yet, if you have an idea for collaboration, reach out and partner with us!
