Residency:

Farm Studio International Artist Residency is located in a rural community in India.

Farm Studio residency provides three types of working spaces where artists can explore their art and ideas in the rural Rajasthani environment; at the Farm Studio indoor studios, the outdoor desert and farm environments, and in Andore Village.

Many exciting exchanges and dialogues among artists take place, including scheduled artist talks, presentations, works in progress showings, etc.
