VAC Art Residency

VAC’s Residency program this year will be designed and customized to offer curatorial critique & network support, assist project development, and facilitate exchanges across communities beyond borders. Our Residency space in Hanoi is built upon the idea of repurposing a private residence into a multifunctional studio. It's reinvented as a collaborative hub for project development & production, communal activities, and public programs. We work with partners worldwide to give resident artists access to various resources. These partnerships enhance residency experience, expand networking opportunities, and allow global exposure. We are dedicated to supporting resident artists in reaching beyond their limits and achieving at least one short-term project aligned with their career goals. 

The core value of VAC Residency is to create a "haven" for artists and cultural practitioners in Vietnam. Here, they can freely explore realms outside the "box". We believe in learning through practice and engagement in an unorthodox setting. Be it different forms of mobility and flexibility such as field trips, travel workshops, or simply enjoying the temporary freedom to focus on artistic projects without concerns. We also seek to bridge gaps and solve problems for each resident artist based on their needs and aspirations.
